Pdoc - you are a fully trained doctor are you not? That makes you professional and therefore middle class whether you like it or not. Middle class is not a dirty word. You can have working class fascists and idiots too.

Really Dove? I though social mobility since the war had done away with a lot of that. I do recognise that the Brits I met thru my working and adult life with the most fixed ideas about class tended to come form "working class" and council estates and didn't see that their degrees and professions had moved them on. Personally, I find manners and friendliness are far more important. There are fools and layabouts and hooligans at all levels but, fortunately, also gems of humour and kindness and interest too.

Wishful thinking Obelixx ....... in Great Britain class isn't about who you are unfortunately, it's still about who your parents and grandparents were

At least one bit of that statement is correct Obelixx.

Ex council house , comprehensive school, no University makes me as common as muck .
As Obs so wisely says " I find manners and friendliness are far more important."
I'd like to think I scrape through on those criteria.
Sadly over the past few years social mobility has gone backwards at a rate of knots.
