Fecking hell!, I wish! I get up, pot of tea, no time for breakfast. Grab a sandwich mid morning (brekky I s'pose). Then don't eat until 6pm, Which should then be my "lunch"??
Might have a "snack" around 9ish before retiring to my sack to start over the next day. SO, why am I a fat B@$£@£d?.
Only vices are tea & coffee. The only time I eat choccy or snacks are on the course.

If you are working class, there is still a chance that your descendents can be upper class. If you obtain wealth and become part of the landed gentry, then, after a few generations your descendents will not have to work for a living and they will be upper class. So the system works you see.

I don't really wish to define what I consider Upper.. middle & working class in the confines of the forum environment, as I think its something that could get quite heated & is a subjective matter of opinion.
However, I will say my upbringing & attitudes are generally that of middle class. And tend to be at logaheads with the opinions & attitude of many of my current work companions.
Generally due to the job i do I am working with many who have had a working class upbrining & therefore a working class attitude. Therefore having little in common with most of those I work with in general.
Thing is the subject is something that can no-longer be defined by the job you or your parents do alone. And is much more complicated, the deviding lines between the old class system has broken down somewhat & is at best hazy to say the least. That is, in my opinion of course.
So am i Middle class, (or even upper middle class) or working class, well, I supose both if we are to use the old definitions & ultimatly I supose neither.
To be honest, I feel that although i now find the whole subject crass, I find it hard not to give some sort of opinion. Hope this makes some sense to everyone ..?

There are many people I know who insist upon calling Lunch dinner, which I find extremely common & cringe every time I hear lunch frefered to as dinner.
Although a northerner by birth I'd agree with the list of what meal comes where in the list. Though as pointed out supper & tea can be used for the same meaning within conversation.
There are other meals such as Brunch & high tea that can be added to the list & generally in my opinion can at least in the case of high tea have more to do with the formality of a late afternoon early evening gathering & the type of food consumed.

I take it that makes me as common as they come then!
As for high tea, our chair seats are standard regulation height. No leg swinging in our house!
