Interesting that in the UK survey (160,000 respondents) only 4% are Elite, but on the BE poll so far 30% are Elite! Maybe Canada attracts elite people.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

more like a load of Brits putting in there salary in CAD instead of UK £

trying even when in Canada to get up one more jump on the class ladder..

So we could re-phrase it; canada attracts those that failed to climb the class ladder in the Uk but still willing to try from a distance....

and the BBC still willing to pull the wool over the eyes of the aspiring middle classes....

SAD but still very British

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Established middle class based on when we left the UK. Technical middle class now. Oh my, our standards are slipping. :thumbup:

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Surely it's relative so, no problem ! :rofl:

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Self selecting group innit.

What makes you think that everyone has done that? It's not what I did.

"Elite" is definitely an overly flattering word to use about people who have reasonably comfortable lifestyles mind.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Kindly reduce your status three levels :rofl:

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

I'm ok with being competent.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Technical Middle Class :thumbup:

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Talking of Elite, did anyone get to Elite in Elite?

I can't remember if I did or not. I was pretty good, but probably not that good.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

I think this test is weird. It didn't ask me whether I prefer to snort cocaine or shoot up smack. Or whether I prefer to punch people, stab 'em or commit tax fraud. Why is there no question about whether my dog is a staffy or a bearded collie? All these questions are important class indicators.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Because i don't believe that 30% of BE are in the 6 figures salary wise

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Nope


Did good, but never got to Elite

screwed up and ended up slinking from dump to dump after scooping up dubious cargo with my mining scoop

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Not me. I got to deadly (or whatever the one below it was called), but the jump to elite was to large and I got bored.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

It's household income, not individual income. Two $80k salaries would be enough for that.

Re: What class are you? ;)
 

Me too - I don't feel especially "elite", but apparently I am. Seems to be distorted by Mrs P and I both having half-decent salaries, some accumulated PP and 401k balances, knowing a few exec and academic types, and owning some rental houses (the questionnaire just refers to property you own, doesn't say you have to live in it. Mix in all those answers and apparently we're "elite". :o. .... No wonder Britain is in such a mess! :rofl:

Another way of looking at it:
Maybe almost all the elite people are just getting the he11 out of Britain.... no, scrub that, not "maybe", I'm pretty d@mn sure they are! That is why Britain is screwed! :unsure:
