I'm pretty sure that British Airways would disagree with that...

I was under the impression those people were being punished. Unless Monty Python lied to me about the Spanish Inquisition...

That's about it. But yes Topher, you are definitely working class. So am I, so is Cat, so are we pretty much all (if not all) on here.

I'd suggest the fact that we're mucking around on the internet and not down the pit / digging holes / laying bricks means we're middle class.

I often think I'm working class, as I enjoy working class things, and would say I'm fairly "no frills", but then I think about my lifestyle, and to someone who works in a manual job, I'd definitely be middle class.

The old white collar / blue collar makes more sense if one was trying to use labels of class.

Having a home and leisure time and enough money to have a comfortable life doesn't make you middle class. Its more often an indication that you ARE working class. I wish real, proper people wouldn't have this idea that there's something undesirable about that - or indeed anything desirable about being "middle" class.

I believe Billy Connolly pointed out that the working class are great and totally nuts, the upper class are great and totally nuts, and it's the middle class v-neck pull over volvo crowd that * it up for everyone by telling us that they're nearly toffs and how much their house is worth this week.

I'm gutted there are only 4 shows left of his evening show.

I've been a regular listener to Richard since 2002. Listen to him more now a days than I do Moyles.

I'd be very happy to be working class, but I don't really think I am.

And I agree that there's not really much to be pleased about to be middle class, but I can't see how by any definition I'm not.

If you really said that in front of a microphone, all that would be heard would be "I really hearing that", which would make no sense whatsoever. Much like yourself really.
