You missed off God, so I went working.

Although others may put me higher.

Classless.

Sadly not classless, as in "defies class boundaries"; like a welly boot or a land rover defender, rather, just a "total lack of".

13% of PH'ers are Queens! I thought we were a more manly bunch?

Funny how this doesn't particularly correlate with the Election vote poll running and the perceived way people would vote. i.e In the election poll Vote Coservative was way ahead on 66% but in this pole the biggest group is the Working class. Is this showing that Labour are losing more & more core voters????? I hope so.

(Bloody hell it's all changed already)

Go to the doctor, instead of airing your illness on a public forum...

Me? I'm just Salt of the Earth hehe

Surely the Upper Class and Queenies know they are, rather than feel they are?

Ah, more pigeonholing, good-o!

My prediction for the poll is that it'll come out mostly working class because people think that sounds better than any of the other options. However, compare that with the poll about how PHers would vote - mostly Tory, traditionally middle class...

I don't get why anyone cares about the notion of "class" in terms of social strata anymore. However, if someone can give some definitions for each pigeonhole that everyone else agrees on... I'll come back in a few years to see how that discussion is going wink

I think you should be asking John Prescott about how the class system works, hes an expert.

Which one?

Where's - elision of the 'i' of 'is' - contraction.
Couldn't - elision of the 'o' in 'not' - contraction.

" 'Could" and "toss' " - single quotation marks.

Looks o.k. to me.

The class system is irrelevant these days. Society is all about money now; not social graces.
