    Technical Middle Class ... apparently it means I come from a middle class background ... didn't know Cherry Orchard Estate was so posh ;-)

    Yup I'm a new affluent worker - accept that I am retired but have an income though.

    Emergent Service Worker, god knows what that is all about.

    - Young (correct)
    - Financially insecure (incorrect)
    - Socially and culturally active (I watch Charlton).

    I think anyone owning a property in the London area will come out in a middle class category just by virtue of the property valuation question.

    I'm no marketing wallah but from my layman's perspective I think the rigour of this survey is questionable at best.

    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.

    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!

    New affluent workers
    This class group is sociable, has lots of cultural interests and is in the middle of all the class groups in terms of wealth. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

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

    Sounds bang on I'm glad that according to the survey lots of people are in this group.

    Me too, but I ain't young...

    Quite. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the word, but I'd have said I was one of the least technical people in the country.

    Maybe it means you're technically middle class but actually as common as muck?

    Sorry, not you personally, "one".
