          Is class strictly related to what one is worth these days? How vulgar.

          Time was that class was not something you bought.

              Whereas nowadays there is a direct correlation between one's standing in the community, and the number of garden sheds/virtual motorbikes one owns.

                I thought class was based on post & reputation count on CUK? That Zippy's a classy bird!

                  Indeed. You've put your finger right on the problem with the rep system.

                    Of course to the lower middle class, itinerant jobbing IT workers, pen-pushing paper shuffling cretins with no skills to speak of, and wannabe entrepreneurs on here, a six figure income remains a mere dream.

                      But with your track record of providing evidence to substantiate the nonsense you prodigiously expel, it is hardly likely to be universally accepted as a sensible yardstick, is it?

                      I hope you have negotiated with your bank manager for this month's overdraft.
