You know you are middle class when

you meet one of your life long heroes, and don't take a selfie

Although the class structure isn't as defined in Ireland, I read once that you're middle class if you are neither poor enough or rich enough to own a horse. Seems about right to me.

I prefer horsepower to horses

You’ve moved up as far as the middle shelf of the wine isle when buying in your local supermarket?

…you bought your own furniture.

Nah, (virtually) all state schools used to offer this throughout the 80s and 90s

Your car isn't on finance.

I took and passed the advanced level cycling proficiency test. What does that mean?

You consider what the neighbours might think. Aristos and Chavs don't GAF what the neighbours think.

Indeed, depends on your definition.

At the lower end you either don't have a car, have a banger or have something like a new Fiesta on PCP. Middle class might own a Golf or nearly new 3 series. Upper end might lease a Range Rover or it is put through the company because actually buying something with such depreciation makes less financial sense. Of course not everyone does this but it fits the stereotype.
