So what class are you?
Or do you want to guess other ABers?
There are seven groups:
Elite: This is the most privileged class in Great Britain who have high levels of all three capitals. Their high amount of economic capital sets them apart from everyone else.
Established Middle Class: Members of this class have high levels of all three capitals although not as high as the Elite. They are a gregarious and culturally engaged class.
Technical Middle Class: This is a new, small class with high economic capital but seem less cultural engaged. They have relatively few social contacts and so not as socially disengaged.
New Affluent Workers: This class has medium levels of economic capital and higher levels of cultural and social capital. They are a young and active group.
Emergent Service Workers: This new class has low economic capital but has high levels of 'emerging' cultural capital and high social capital. This group are young and often found in urban areas.
Traditional Working Class: This class scores low on all forms of the three capitals although they are not the poorest group. The average age of this class is older than the others.
Precariat: This is the most deprived class of all with low levels of economic, cultural and social capital. The everyday lives of members of this class are precarious.

One of the best books I ever read was a book called Class by Jilly Cooper. She broke the old class system down into aristocracy, upper middle, middle middle, lower middle, decent working class and the dregs.
One comment she made was how much the aristocracy and the working classes have in common, such as wearing flat claps, following horse racing, their love of dogs etc

Established middle class
This is the most gregarious and the second wealthiest of all the class groups. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:
Enjoy a diverse range of cultural activities - No
Went to university - No
Are comfortably off, secure and established - By luck
it's this type of labelling that makes us all look on one another with that isn't he a chav or look at Lord Snooty attitude, nonsensical. Maybe it's a bit of fun, but i have never found it to be so. Most people work, or have done so, so we are all working folk, perhaps once upon a time there were the Lord and Lady of the Manor, but most of that has gone now, thank heavens.. throw back to the feudal age of serfs and peasants, gawd blimey gov.
