    You are confusing the purpose of religion with its effect.

      I consider myself Aristocracy. This poll is invalid.
      What happens in General, stays in General.
      You know what they say about assumptions!

        Good to see you have a realistic self image.

          Options are better, but we need:

          Upper class - land
          Upper class - trade
          Working class - respectable
          Working class - not respectable
          Lumpen proletariat
          Under class.

            So if your family's upper class with land AND trade, you work, and you don't have any cash to spend, does that make you 'lumpen upper working class'?

              Upper class land. It's a hierarchy.

                That's nice to know. While being a penniless permie I can eat hare shot on Lady Tester's land, drink burgundy inherited from my lot, listen to Mahler's 8th (please do listen to that some day) on vinyl inherited from grandfather, drive an ageing luxury car and feel thoroughly superior while pondering the challenge of paying for the next tank of petrol and keeping myself warm in a 40 year old tweed jacket. Could be worse I suppose.

                  You don't half talk bollix a lot of the time.

                  No, I take that back... all of the time. But this one was a particular gem. Don't ever change.

                    Work is a scourge.
