There is an article on the BBC news site about the middle class. Part of this article is a test you can take to tell you what social class you fall in to. |

Well I have always considered myself one of the downtrodden poor yet the BBC considers that I am part of "Established middle class" possibly because I play the saxaphone and like jazz. Jazz and respectability are strange bedfellows. |

It can't be that Rollo, because I listen to classical (it is sometimes in the adverts on the Jeremy Kyle Show) and I am still the lowest of the low. |

My mum described those who lived in the so called better area of our town - that lot with fur coats and no drawers :-D |

According to the article I am/was until retirement a member of the traditional working class - spot on I reckon :-) |

I play modern jazz plus the usual standards and 1001 attempts to play Baker Street properly. I have a similar Yamaha alto sax to Dave Kozz but sadly don't play anywhere near as well :-( |

Apparently I am one of the elite and probably had a private education and went to university. Really? |

As for Sharron saying she is a proletariat, how can she be when she has such a wide range of interests . . . AND a good brain?! |
