Answer these questions to find out if you're upper class ...

[Platypus]

1. In the middle of beautiful countryside, surrounded by fields, my fields.
2. A country house, foundations 1554, but mostly built 1600-1605, by a direct ancestor.
3. Public school, college
4. Several cars as I collect things, but like to ride a bicycle.
5. Do watches count? Lots of watches in a collection, but then I like to collect things.
6. Don't wear any.
7. Don't, apart from an old dress uniform which doesn't fit any more. If I have something formal to go to, I just buy a new suit, it then sits in a wardrobe for a few months before going off to cleaners and on to the charity shop.
8. Yes, several, but they're for the farm and businesses really.
9. Mostly visiting relatives at their homes or their summer houses.
10. Don't watch that much, but 'Destroyed in Seconds' is a hoot.

Wake up! It's only a dream!

Peasant stock

Yer busted. The answers came from a Hello Magazine style interview with the guy who lives here

sadguru, you are not just a prat, but a mean spirited one too.

"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.

... we're all induhviduals just like everyone else...

I'm not.

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

sadguru, you are not just a prat, but a mean spirited one too.

I was being generous by raising you to the standard of a peasant.
