The test said Elite. Dont think I would have choosen elite my self.

Anway. I am off to the Mall shopping to buy clothes for the yacht we have chartered to sail around the Saronic islands next month for 3 weeks. If I was really elite, surely I would have a personal shopper

I did it for when I was in the UK and came out as a New Affluent Worker.

Then I did it for now and I'm Traditional Working class.

It's all a bit weird.The only real change is I don't work now, so that lowered the income. But I went back through again and input my UK income and I stayed in the TWC.

I've done it a few times with the same answers except going to gigs.

If I go I'm a new affluent worker, if I don't go I'm traditional working class.

LMAO I was the same.

Interestingly, when in the UK I would have considered my social circle to include cleaners and farmers from drinking in the local Pub. I noted here in Toronto it is more University professors and accountants (this no doubt skewed my score upward!).

It does makes me yearn for my local back in the UK a bit.

According to the test I am in the lowest group.
The silly B's never asked me but I do know a high court judge and many of my friends are multi millionaires. Just as well I do not believe in all this twaddle. Just a big joke.

I consider myself Elite

Before I read it, I would have picked technical middle class. The survey says Elite, which is a laugh. But it did like the fact we owned a home and went to watch dance and theatre, which is nice.
