"Lower upper middle or possibly upper upper middle" etc etc
I have no idea what any of that could possibly mean, categorising people is flawed, we're all induhviduals just like everyone else.
I treat everyone the same, class (whatever that actually means) is in the eye of the beholder and only relevant if you make it so. I choose not to.Comment

How hard is it to discern class:
Q: Do you work for a living?
A: Yes
Then you are working class
A: No
Then you are a bludger off the state, whether aristo or doley bum
Q: Do you eat alphebetti spaghetti everyday in your pants
A: Yes
Then you are SAS Guru and you are not classifiable
HTH
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.Comment
