FabSwingers.com forum: Middle versus working class?

What identifies someone as middle rather than working class? For me it's I you have brown sugar in your house for coffee, as well as white for tea.

What if you have brown sugar in your house for baking and not to use with coffee?

Not that I do but the question just popped into my head

Having sugar in any hot beverage is so working class.

That's not technically true, mine changes colour according to whichever delicacy that I've made myself

Good quality wine , port and cheese change the colour of your poo so this may not necessarily be true.

Class to me is a funny old thing.

I suspect that many wouldn't bother or care to classify themselves as a particular 'class' in this day and age. The lines are far more blurred than the days of stereotypical types - working class miners downt pit and city gents in bowler hats stopping off at the gentlemans club for a G&T on the way home from running daddy's multinational empire.

Class is harder to spot. There are those that would historically have considered themselves working class in occupations that would previously have been considered only open to the upper classes - and vice versa.

Those that tend to hang on to class labels often do so through emotional arguments rather than practical ones.

To me - the most obvious evidence of the pointlessness of 'class' labels can be see in three examples of reality TV - Made in Chelsea, TOWIE and Geordie Shore.

All stereotypical 'class' characters, all earning stupid amounts of money for doing fuck all - and generally all complete arseholes!

I'm broke as fuck, but why don't I behave like I'm on the welfare state? I talk like I'm common, but don't behave that way.

What class am I in?

Anyone who says 'Weird' or a similar answer, I'm one step ahead of you.

I've had this conversation many times with my middle class best friend, often d*unk.

To me it's just what I know myself to be, where I feel I fit, the people and places I identify with, my habits. Belonging I guess.

I'm working class, the clue is in the term, not underclass but working class. We do still exist. Sorry for being so sentimental but I'm from Salford. It doesn't get more working class. We even have a working class movement library in our little City.

My friend is very prescriptive and sane though so he thinks home ownership and degree education elevates you to the middle class whether you like it or not.

I think the lines are far too blurred for their to be much of a distinguishment these days. I also thing it's a load of shit, but maybe that's because I'm working class.

Well honestly can say the difference is .

If you're working class the only plans you make for your retirement are, how many years past retirement age your gonna have to work to be able to eat and pay bills.

Sadly so true, my mum started work at 15, she's hoping to be able to retire at 72 and she has a physically demanding job.

It's obvious to everyone that i must be upper middle class, one is grammar school educated, masters degree, play rugby, cricket and golf.

Parents live abroad, have a valet named Smedley, a gardener named Tom and a cook by the name Mrs Jenkinson.

One retires to the country at the weekends before returning to work in the city with Toby, Archie and Jeremy.

One only drinks blue mountain coffee from jamaica and loose assam tea from India.

One eats breakfast like a king, lunches like a prince and eats dinner like a pauper.

I am without doubt upper middle class don't you know and if you don't like it you can bugger orf.
