Poplar maisonette to Semi-detached in a medium sized village.

This is the UK we are talking about here. Your class is defined by the 10 generations
before you. You may think you are middle class now, but you are most assuredly not. You are what your great-grandfather was. The only time your family will change its class will be when one buys his way into the upper echelons - then 3 or 4 generations on, you will become upper class.
Recent arrivals simply have no stake in this system.
More Darling Buds of May to Cider with Rosie imo.

My great grandfathers were both shopkeepers, although one owned a pub as well.
Upper working/lower middle class, in other words.
