Haven't taken the test but know where I would get marked down: little social life; don't do sport; don't do theatre; don't do classical music. |

The survey covered around 161,000 people, did it not? Sounds a lot but it is only a quarter of a percent of the population. Hardly representative at all. |

Not put them down I said that but its not right so sorry - I mean when ppl don't like hearing stuff abt themselves I don't like hearing I'm poor and depraved when I work hard for everything I have. I also don't like to hear my neighbour who has been in the country 6 months is above me in class even though she don't work. Like I said its manners x |

It only puts you down if you allow yourself to be put down. |

I'm working class but who cares? I certainly don't! I don't care what class anybody is so long as they are polite. |

It is way of putting ppl down - we were supposed to have done with the class system not made it more complicated. I guess I'm peeved because I know ppl with no home of their own and no job on benefits who have took the test and rate higher than me. So what if we associate with postal workers and cleaners its manner makes the man not what money he earns. Surely its the character of a man makes them more desirable company x |

Hardly propaganda - it was formulated by the BBC and some universities, not the government. Neither type of institution is liable to lean to the right. |

Seems, according to the calculator that 'class' has a lot to do with income. |
