The Great British Class Survey

Might prove to be a mild diversion for a bit, takes about 20mins
Quote:
Mike Savage from the London School of Economics and Fiona Devine from the University of Manchester describe their findings from The Great British Class Survey. Their results identify a new model of class with seven classes ranging from the Elite at the top to a 'Precariat' at the bottom.

I looked at it but since I don't live there didn't follow it through. Funny, though, seems like most of the attention is on the lowest class on TV, I mean.

My class changed every time I ammended the financial info section. The other questions made no difference.

In other words, it's all about how much you get paid and the house you live in - same as it ever was.

That's rather old, but there's a more recent one, which is just as ridiculous and largely based around income: BBC News - The Great British class calculator: What class are you?
