Irene Swaine Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 What social class are you? I am curious to know what social class forum users consider themselves to be. I am sure some on here would consider themselves working class but I have also seen some very impressive words used by some posters that suggest a level of intellect. It is so hard to tell what people are, as there are no accents in text! Are you:- Working Class? Middle Class? Upper Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Tough question that as I don't really know what defines classes. I've worked all my life, not rich but suppose comfortable. I like dressing up,but equally as comfortable in a pair of manky shorts and flip flops. I don't like rough people who swear all the time so maybe I would say middle class?

ECCOnoob Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Bit behind the times Irene. 10 years ago there was big publicity and discussion about re-categorisation of social class. Following a wide survey conducted between various academics 7 categories were formed, well beyond the stereotype three. These new classes don't even have that much focus on income levels anymore. It's more about job roles, social outlook and cultural tastes. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/apr/03/great-british-class-survey-seven https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2303333/Great-British-Class-Survey-reveals-UK-7-social-classes-Are-precariat-new-affluent-worker-elite.html https://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-04-03/new-survey-finds-uk-seven-social-classes/ I very much seem to be 'technical middle class' learning towards 'elite' Edited August 26, 2023 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
