AWicher Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Last night on One Show they had a discussion regarding the British "Class" system. I personally, would consider myself middle class; I’m not rich but have a comfortable life. There is a BBC survey on this - https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/class/ Don't fully understand the output I got - http://yfrog.com/h2jl4jp - YouTube - John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett: Class.

mattx Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm still waiting for John Major's classless society he promised. BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | First 100 days: John Major Yet another Tory full of horse manure and idea like Calamity Cameron's big society.
AWicher Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Scored 30/100 for cultural and was labeled a "Cultural Chav" on twitter :/ Never been a chav before!
Rydra Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Apparently I'm mr average; 50/100 70/100 50/100 were the scores, and i scored average/above average for everything. Apparently living in a terraced ex council house in a ghost town with less than £30k household income (after tax) and £3k of savings is above average! Says a lot about our economy that the majority are lower in the economic scale than I am....

webman Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I personally, would consider myself middle class; I’m not rich but have a comfortable life. Do you work for a living? If so, then surely you would be working class?
AWicher Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Do you work for a living? If so, then surely you would be working class? The complexity of the British Class System! Tell that to her!
webman Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I don't just want to go on a definition quoting rampage, but perhaps it might be a good idea to see what one source defines them as to encourage debate I think the definition and the boundaries between classes is blurred, it's difficult to pigeon hole a person under one specific class. Middle class The socioeconomic class between the working class and the upper class, usually including professionals, highly skilled laborers, and lower and middle management. A top-class doctor or surgeon, for example. Working class The socioeconomic class consisting of people who work for wages, especially low wages, including unskilled and semiskilled laborers and their families. From shop workers to school support staff, maybe? Source: Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary
Pottsey Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) This test seems odd. Make a fake email up and put in some details that might not be not true like well under 30years old, have a fully paid off house with zero mortgage and something crazy like 50k in savings. Pretty impressive I would say for an under 30 year old. Then the end result you get is “Your financial resources are about the same as the average person in the UK. Find out more below.” EDIT: To top it off I got a culture rating of 10/100 not bad for someone that’s explored the world and been to many different cultures. Edited January 26, 2011 by Pottsey

Rawns Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Aww, I jumped in this thread hoping to waffle on about my Hunter in WoW!
dwhyte85 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I think WoW is a part issue with my 20/100 culture score... and lack of disposable income.
localzuk Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 You scored 32/100 for economic capital You scored 85/100 for social capital You scored 70/100 for cultural capital So, I have wide variety of friends and like a wide variety of cultural entertainment, but can't afford to see any of them or partake in any activities. Fun eh?
somabc Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm confused in Your Social Network there are entries for 'Never Worked' and 'Aristocrat/noble' Is that not the same thing!?
