I, and my esteemed friend, stewed & Keefed had a heated debate this very evening (Tuesday 16th January) we discussed the very fabrics which mould us into the various ‘class’ brackets.
To summarise my very point, what exactly are the deciding factors in which go into deciding what class systems we all indeed, fall under.
One, IE, yours truly, considers himself to be of the Middle Classes.
This is a very British affair, yet, my noble foreign friends (as well as my fellow anglo Saxons), let’s please do discuss…

Good question and until last night, not an issue I have ever thought about. I, however, feel that I am Middle Class.
I'm an Established Civil Servant, my father is an Established Civil Servant in Senior Management, my mother has a specialist degree relating to her job as a Health Visitor and my brother is privately educated.
I don't know if that makes me 'middle class' as such, but it doesn't class me as working class.
stewed & Keefed thinks I work in a coal mine!!
btw, its all bollocks, it doesn't bother me one iota as to what 'class' they are |

Middle-class civil servants wouldn't mis-spell "system" in the thread title!  |

Such complicated and useless classifications...it's much easier here...there are the haves...and the too fucking lazy, high or stupid to haves...
And of course, there's that contingent of people who have no idea how well they have it, globally speaking, and who just like to bitch...we call them democrats |

We also call them morons. Anytime anyone falls for a weeping woman & hands over the keys to said weeping woman, well, they're either morons or wussies. |

I don’t know why I started the thread to be honest. Silly disagreement between myself and stewed & Keefed perhaps.
I’ll be voting for the Conservative Party. Not a Gordon Brown fan at all.
The two Gillingham boys on the board at least agree on THAT one!

You can delete the thread just by deleting your 1st post. I might move to Canada if Hilary C gets in. |

What you mean & what it appears on the board could be quite different. 2 of us feel like you're stalking us. You need to calm down. I have to go get a new cell phone & some other consumer goods. I deleted the Sarkozy/Bruni thread because of you... |
