I was one to initially agree with the first postings in this thread   ( i.e.there is no class system ) until I read Trollopes' " The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist " and I realised the stereotypes of the class system, as depicted in the book, are still around today nearly a hundred years later. The ideological grounding is still inherent within todays scale of development despite the augmentations.
