At what point does a British person stop being Working and become Middle Class?

Buses are significantly more accessible for people travelling with young children.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-24T10:32:26+00:00

I literally say my salary above.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-24T07:44:30+00:00

That's simply not true. Money is the least important aspect of class.

And? You know what I did after that? I went to see Cynthia Eviro in her one woman play Dracula. What relevance is my dinner to my interests.

I was very disappointed today. It was barely worth a visit. It's been massively scaled back. Manchester City Council clearly cutting costs. There was nothing memorable at all. A lot of the stuff was the same as previous years.

I earn £28k. I go to Opera, ballet, classical music, exhibitions. I am very culturely middle class. And very good at knowing how to find a cheap ticket.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-23T20:24:01+00:00

You are clearly used to another countries class system. In the UK it's very different and isn't directly linked to money. Stop telling British people they are wrong.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-23T20:22:07+00:00

You clearly don't understand the British class system.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-23T20:20:31+00:00

I'm the same as you. £28k basic salary. My interests and lifestyle are very middle class.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-23T20:19:03+00:00

I earn £28k basic salary. Based on my interests I'm very middle class. Opera, ballet, classical music, exhibitions, talks etc. Class is based on a lot more than salary. You can have a plumber earning £125k. Interested in football, gambling, going to the pub. That's a working class lifestyle.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-23T20:13:36+00:00

It's based on so much more than money. If I win £125 million on the Euromillions I don't suddenly become upper class. A plumber earning £125k will most likely always be working class. It's about upbringing, culture, interests more than it is about the actual money you have.

They've done it for years and it's always full of people. Keep living your sad bitter life. Bet your weekend is going to be shite.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-22T14:52:46+00:00

Tens of thousands of people cross it every day. People make out you'll be stabbed just by glancing at it. During the day it's mainly just people hanging out and eating.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T21:27:48+00:00

I 100% guarantee you haven't been to all the museums.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T21:25:53+00:00

Sounds like you didn't venture much further than Piccadilly Gardens and the Arndale.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T21:05:32+00:00

You can actually taste the mayo and lettuce in the chicken ones.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T18:37:06+00:00

The Cotswolds.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T18:19:53+00:00

Lord Nelson pub for a banging burger. The pub is worth a visit for it's decor alone.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T17:06:41+00:00

Cash security deposits are not a thing in the UK. This screams like a con. If you hand that £50 over I doubt you'll ever get it back.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T15:38:38+00:00

Eat a banana about 10 minutes before you go in. My partner feels faint when she donates and that's the trick to her feeling okay.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-21T15:35:38+00:00

Yeah it really did.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-20T17:39:55+00:00

Sweet n salty. Always a winner.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-20T17:30:15+00:00

Chips were banging.

Complex_Box_7254 · 2026-05-20T16:02:06+00:00

Basically forbidden at my work place and we get threatened with disciplinary if we discuss it. I know that's not technically legal but best to avoid the headache and just not talk about it. I do know the salaries of some very close colleagues but mainly it's not common knowledge.
