    I think I'm middle class as I'm a solicitor (anyone need legal advice?! lol) but still struggle to meet ends meet sometimes.

    good post. I grew up in a middle-ish class neighbourhood (deffinitely middle class now, when I grew up it was more mixed though), so I suppose Im middle class, as it goes, even though Im * skint. I have mixed interests though I love football and I box, if I buy a paper it's just the record for the sport. But I also buy political monthlies and quarterlies though.....and Ive been known to drink wine & even organic cider sometimes when I have spare dough. lol. Im a wamfy I suppose. It sneaks up on you.

    I take the marxist view though....if you have to sell your labour to make your money while someone else profits your working class. People think because they put on a shirt & tie to go to work while their parents or grandparents worked with their hands that they've moved up in class. Reality is we're even poorer relative to those we work for than they were. Thats the deception. It's why the term 'working class' has pretty much been banished from the American lexicon and is going the same way here, because it serves the wealthy to have us all thinking we're middle class and independent while we stain the pits of our clean white shirts making them money. But I digress

    Class is not the same as it was in days of yore, I feel.

    Nowadays you have taxi-drivers living in the same street as professors etc.

    I think genuine working class and genuine upper class do not have the same meaning as they did in the past - that doesn't say they do not exist as they do - however, to nowhere near the same extent.

    I'm neither working/ middle nor upper, I feel (Is that possible? :39:)

    I deal with all sorts of people and don't feel any better or worse than anyone.

    But there are great people and genuine tossers from top to bottom - I can assure of that :50:

    Confused ... wait until next weeks episode
