Class is both economic and cultural. I've always hovered between upper-working and lower-middle. My parents both grew up on council estates (mostly working class) and took working class jobs when they left school. However my father moved from mechanic to middle manager then he went to self-employed car salesman (more middle-class) I suppose now mum & dad are lower-middle - they own their own home and are 'doing OK' . But culturally they are still working class - it's the football, not the opera...the pub, not the fancy restaurant. Their accents haven't changed.

As for me, I'm low-level white collar, educated to degree standard. But I can't see me ever owning my own place. For years I was blue-collar, but liked gonig to museums! So where am I?!

Class is important in how society functions but there is no black/white definitions. It's a very gray area.
