    Working class, indeed! The very idea.

    Does that automatically defines you as not working class? I never understand these things

    I have never really understood the intangible concept of class in the UK.

    You for example presumably need to work, in order to be able to live your life, so surely you are working class?

    As is the Dutch Irish mongrel chap in the motor trade who likes to present himself as being in some way superior to the ordinary man in the street.

    Having to work has nothing to do with being working class, sw. Do you find me with my hands down a u-bend, scaffolding, plastering or shovelling shít? No. Why not? Because those are occupations for the working classes.

    I am middle class. I sit in an office tapping out deathless prose on a keyboard or having meetings. These are things middle class people do.

    As am I - this was my family home until the late 50s - probably a long way from working class I would say

    Squatters can still be working class la... and since you weren't born in the 50's or 60's I think that negates your defence Guilty as charged

    Good point... I intend to pretend I am working until they catch me out and I have to take an early pension
