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

  • Went to private school and elite universities
  • Socialise with people who do a wide variety of jobs

Yes I do go to the theatre and listen to classical music
Yes I went to private school, but definitely a second rate university
Yes I socialise with people in many professions.

But Elite, definitely not..
Elite for me too! That is so far wide of the mark. And I turned down the private schooling.

Got me wrong to: Emergent service workers

Yes I work in the Service Sector technically, but its a role where I deal with everyone from the cleaner through to directors of companies.

I see myself as working class, from a working class area, old mans a Building Services Engineer now but spent from 16 through to about 42 on the tools. Mothers a cleaner and we had not a lot growing up.
All that was drummed into us was look to succeed

I know my place

Personally I think the whole thing was crafted in such a way as to put the greatest number of BBC employees into the 'Elite' group. I never got much beyond Dangerous.

Established middle class.
Don't know about that. I'm a long ways from being Elite.

Elite.

Of course, I didn't expect anything else.















(Yes, I did answer it accurately and honestly, so I'm not sure it's a very accurate way of gauging 'class' - whatever that is)
