Elite, what load of tosh. Technical middle class would tick most of thier boxes. As far as I'm concerned anyone that works is working class. Anyone who dont is retired.
I'm no marketing wallah but from my layman's perspective I think the rigour of this survey is questionable at best.
It would appear possible, on the basis of this survey and the class that it attributes, that two single people of the same class could, by moving in together & pooling resources, move up the social system. Equally a couple splitting up & moving apart could move down the class order.
Ha .....I did it including all my genuine social factors, own home but rock bottom income and no savings =Traditional Working Class.
I did it again, with exactly the same social factors, own home but top income and savings = Elite.
So there's the proof: Money is the only thing that counts in Britain today - if you have money/assets, you're regarded as Elite The rest of society is disregarded!

Are young Come from a working class background Own their own home
