What class are you?

Milan - are you Czech, or do you have Czech ancestry?

Benes is, you'll recall, a well-known name in the Czech Republic - and not particularly well appreciated by certain members of Czech society.

isn't this question a little off topic

no, not czech, no czech ancestry

just found the name amusing

are you from the aurora or do you aurora ancestry ?



Milan.

Apologies - Milan is a Czech first name, and Benes is a Czech surname so put two and two together and came up with five.

And whilst not "of" the aurora, have been close to it often enough and am spending a month with it soon. Feel free to visit the website www.chasingtheaurora.com.

right back to the discussion,


I see the majority here are those who are questioning their class and who do not realise that true class is built on a foundation of wealth and not by having a house car and lifestyle supported by the never never

You're showing your inbuillt snobbery their Sas, and is the fundemental reason I object to the word chav - apparently it's used to describe a kind of person (Not very likeable or pleasant), but in actuality it's an acceptable way for those who think they're somehow better than working class people, to refer to working class people.

If it isn't obvious, working class and proud of it - but probably disowned because I live an essentially middle class life.

Saying that I think the whole class system it's an anachronism that's on it's way out, but still lingers round occasionally rearing it's ugy head.

There will always be a class system for as long as we have the rights to do as we please and pick the groups to which we wish to belong. We are tribal beings and need to feel a sense of attachment that defines us. The great thing about the UK is that class cannot be "bought" with money.
So to say that class is an outdated anachronism merely shows a lack of understanding of basic human nature.

SAS has used two words today he doesn't really understand the meaning of :

-Class
-Humility

Could that be because he has neither?

Well having lived in several countries where the class system is almost negligible I'd say that's patently not true. I wouldn't say doesn't exist because there is always rich and poor, but class in the British sense isn't a world wide phenomenon.
