BBC Class survey
« on: April 03, 2013, 07:33:21 AM »
Interesting topic on BBC this morning. The Uk allegedly now has 7 different class of people instead of the previous 3. I don't know who conducts these surveys, or why really  but the findings seemingly shape the future for UK.

You can take the test here.

Tried this little test and assumed I would come out working class as that was what I allway considered myself, got that wrong, according to the test I am looking down on quite a few people instead of looking up, bad neck but in the opposite direction  ;)  ;)

Forgot to say I came out as Technical middle class which is hilarious. I need to find more cleaners to befriend so that I can go back to my working class roots LOL
