I Didn’t want to take Tashys thread off on a tangent but there was a couple of comments on there that got me thinking about the class system, Cressida reckons it’s the middle classes fuelling the demand for drugs, Tash claims he is working class (tbh the amount of holidays he has I thought he was a retired pit owner!😉) and Lord T identifies as middle class.
But honestly what is Working class and what is middle class nowadays?
Mortgages .... nice cars .... holidays ... savings ... going out to eat in nice restaurants etc ..... is that working class or middle class ?
I have worked since I left school at 16 never signed on and come from a hard working family from Millwall, I’m now a company director of a sme but have never classed myself anything other than working class.
My Dad used to say "If you wake up in the morning and have to go to work, you are working class. If you wake up in the morning and wonder when the maid is going to serve breakfast, you are middle class. If you wake up in the morning not giving a toss about the aforementioned you are upper class" 😄
So what are people’s thoughts regarding class? Is it alive and thriving in 2019?
