Traditional Working Class - mostly it seems, because I don't listen to the specific genres of music they ask about (even though I am a musician and have a huge record collection); I do stuff not on their list of activities; and I don't know anyone socially from their list of occupations - largely because I choose not to socialise with other humans.

The phrases working class, middle class, upper class have been around for ages, why the upset? It's a new system, but after all these years of using the phrase it could be forgiven, no?

I would have thought that in these enlightened times that the 'class' system would have been rightly consigned to history by now, which is where it belongs IMHO.The phrases working class, middle class, upper class have been around for ages, why the upset?

The a few things wrong with this though, first of all, where is the Underclass? Those with no jobs, living off the state, those people definitely exist in numbers in this country in the modern age, too PC for the BBC to publish?
And secondly, the emergent service workers class needs renamed because let's be honest, they're Students.
Ha! I got the Emergent Service Workers class. It doesn't describe me terribly well - but then again, maybe it does, because it was surprisingly to shift...The a few things wrong with this though, first of all, where is the Underclass?

I think the survey places a weighting on renting/not renting that's out of all proportion to how much it changes the wealth sector. I didn't have to pretend to own a very fancy house before it admitted my true level: Elite. (Naturally.)
