I know my place ............ lol

And that's all I'm saying on the subject :-)

well I suppose these days I would be classed as middle class, but I class mayself as working class - worked all my life - except for five years after my son was born - OH worked all his life as did my parents, and now my son and daughter in law - so working class it is

I was thinking about this last night. ( I know, I have a dull life lolol)

Most of us on here don't know, in any great detail, the origins, or life style of the people we talk to, certainly not in terms of what 'class' we are identified or identify ourselves as being. A chance comment perhaps might make me think 'X evidently comes from a middle class background...financially if not socially, or both' ...but generally speaking one doesn't know....

So, I wonder, is GR to all intents and purpose the 'classless society' that was predicted?

"class·less (klsls)
adj.
1. Lacking social or economic distinctions of class: a classless society.
2. Belonging to no particular social or economic class."

Do you think of yourself as being 'middle class' ? is that based on financial considerations...or how you were brought up ? Do we have anyone here who considers themself 'upper class'? lol, we might have some hereditary peers on here without knowing ;-)

Is 'class' now more about having financial / educational/ work opportunities, (or not having them) ...and less about what 'class' you or your parents/grandparents were 'born into'?
