There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default BBC Class Survey

Just taken the BBC class survey and came out as "Technical middle class" Not entirely sure I agree but can't find good grounds to disagree.

Anyone else wanna try it out and do you agree with the result?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973

To expand on my original post, the new survey found 7 classes ranging through:
Precariat
Emergent Service Workers
Traditional Working Class
New Affluent Workers
Technical Middle Class
Established Middle Class
Elite

Established Middle Class make up 25% of the population apparently

Emergent service workers
This class group is financially insecure, scoring low for savings and house value, but high for social and cultural factors.

I was Established Middle Class.

I didn't go to University, I flunked my A-levels.

Define diverse range of cultural activites? This month includes Southend Shakedown, a black tie dinner and awards do in the Long Room at Lord's, a photographic exhibition at the Getty Gallery, a trip to the cinema to see Trance, a day at the cricket, a dinner for a book awards, and a walking holiday in the New Forest. Is that diverse enough?
