Working class ... have made up names or names that used to be surnames
Like what? First names like Jackson or Harrison or Smith? That doesn't conjure up images of the working class for me.
Quote from: MayorHaggar on December 16, 2019, 12:06:25 pmMiddle class according to Brits where you have a double-barrelled surname and own half a county,That's upper class obviously. Though the double-barreled surname is not so much of an indicator any more. Otherwise there are a lot of upper class footballers.The main differences between working class and middle class in the UK are traditionally as followsMiddle class - university educated, neutral accent, uses non-regional terms for things, working in a profession rather than a job, house owning, plans for the future, thinks a lot about kids' education, kids have traditional names, reads books, reads a broadsheet, watches cricket and rugby. Drinks wine, cooks foreign food at home. Working class - obvious regional accent and vocab, works in a manual job for a wage, lives in a council house, doesn't save for pension, kids go to local comprehensive and have made up names or names that used to be surnames, reads a tabloid, no books in the house, holidays in Blackpool or Benidorm, drinks lager, has chips with every meal, watches football, smokes, has tattoos. Under class - never worked, drinks cider, some kind of drug problem, regularly breaks the law, smokes rollies, lots of teeth missing, goes on Bemefits Street or Jeremy Kyle. Obviously, these classifications have changed a lot over time as well as the traditional working class shrinking to a great extent

In the US we'd say someone was middle class if they owned a house and a car period.Seems like everyone in the UK thinks they're working class. In the US everyone thinks they're middle class.
