I was brought up to believe that we are divided socially into classes:
1. Working class.
2. Middle class.
3. Aristocracy.
I also read decades ago that classes were less relevant and were disappearing.
I'm curious as to what others think so here are some questions:
1. What class were you born into?
2. What class are you now?
3. Do you believe in 1 and 2?
4. ie Do you think class exists?
5. Do you think you can move class?
Also, without Googlerating, I'd be curious as to how these classes are defined.
I've tended to think of them as not only to do with our financial situation, but also to do with tastes, interests and education.
With regard to me, I was born working class and ?probably? still am.
What an intersting topic! I'm from a middle class family, privately educated with all that entails. I'm not dropppin my Hs as this is who I am. As you rightly say, it's all boll..ks, and people are people. As far as I'm aware, The class you are is determined by breeding and NOT money. Since most of us can't trace our lineage back to 1066, we are, by definition, all plebs! So WHAT!
All my life I was thought of as the eccentric posh girl, when in fact it appears I'm autistic. The relief is indescribable - and YES, I have the confidence to tell people who don't like it, to go swivel!
