Back from my middle-class tea.

"Yes Stigweard, your powers of deduction are truly amazing."

It was only a joke - sorry, didn't mean to offend. Bet your state pension is more than mine will be when I retire though (if I ever can afford to).

Class is a wonderful subject - everyone has an opinion because as WLD states it's still very much with us. I love it when people try to shove their working-class credentials up your nose, that wonderful inverted snobbery George Bernard Shaw parodied so well in Pygmalion. Like toff's slumming it, it's all a load of cobblers.

As Marx and Engels said "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles".
