Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

You cant help noticing that most foreigners haven't a clue about the British class system. So, I thought it might be strangely interesting if we took a little poll and shared our definitions and personal experiences. All for the benefit of those Moose-folk to the North and Septics in our midst.

Hello ..what a super boring poll ......

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

Your definitions get less and less accurate as they move up the class system, so you're clearly working class or wannabe middle class. :D

I mean, "doilies on every surface" is a purely lower middle class aspirational thing.

You are half right. ;)

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

TIP for the OP ..never have a Poll lasting more than 3 days ..
this will be on page 4 ..before it ends ...

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

I'm a left-leaning working class snob with doilies on every surface and kids at college - which box do I tick? :confused:

I don't have nice carpets though. Still looking for hardwood flooring ;)

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

You dont fit. Go back to England for a bit and sort yourself out. :)
I just put all that crap in there to throw out an idea or three...

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

I'm taking at a stab at lower middle (although I have tendencies either side of that!) ;)

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

If only... :(

AH well :beer:

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

Sadly I am unable to participate in this poll since the categories do not include "socialist wannabe middle class jerk", which is how one of the respondents to this poll described me a couple of months ago. ;)

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

Still sore about that eh? Never mind, you'll get over it. One day.

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

I would say it's the working-class who have doilies on every surface and are socially conservative. Find breastfeeding disgusting but tits hanging out of boob-tubes ok.

Middle class have a couple of holidays a year, and constantly panic that the neighbourhood is going down. Kids overscheduled with masses of activities to make them successful

Upper middle class are socially liberal, worry less about education than middle class and the presentation of homes and cars etc

No idea what the Upper class do except hunt and go to balls.

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

that rules out the overwhelming majority of people in America

Go to the opera?

I'll get my mink...

Re: Student emigrating to Florida from Watford.
 

The upper classes go to the opera.

The middle-class wannabes talk about going to the opera. Constantly.
