    It's broken. You get Elite if you have income or assets even if you have no friends and no hobbies.

    Huh. That sounds a lot more appropriate for my situation than "established middle class". My public sector income is below the national average(as a teacher), but then again I suppose Norwegian wages are higher than british wages(peasants!).

    As for those of you who don't understand what "emergent service worker" means, it's basically the new working class which is employed as shop workers, tour guides, waitresses, hairdressers and so on instead of traditional industry.

    Broken? Isn't that rather spot on?

    Established middle class

    This is the most gregarious and the second wealthiest of all the class groups. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

    Enjoy a diverse range of cultural activities
    Went to university
    Are comfortably off, secure and established

    I got

    Elite

    This is the wealthiest and most privileged group in the UK. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

    • Enjoy high cultural activities such as visiting museums and listening to classical music
    • Went to private school and elite universities
    • Socialise with people who do a wide variety of job


    Ok, so I earn good and live in a house that has doubled its value from when I built it. I like classical music and have doctors and university professors in the family, and yeah.. ok I like Opera and I have a daughter who dances ballet. But really...?

    New Affluent Workers: This class has medium levels of economic capital and higher levels of cultural and social capital. They are a young and active group.
    seems dubious.

    Established middle class. I overscored for middle class in the purple, but underscored in one of the blues. Apparently I am not going to be found at the barricades any time soon.

    That is a typical snob.

    For myself I got Traditional working class, but I would have got if I were working and not ill.

    Gosh darn it, I misread Frag's post... I thought he got elite for himself, instead he was just quoting Sigurd... There goes my plan to pester him with accusations of elitism in every future argument....

    Oh, and don't worry about Sigurd; he's from Bergen. That automatically makes him bottom of the heap. The discard pile.

    (and yes, I'm still pissed at the 3-1 loss)

    Which is what I stated in my post. It is rather silly.
