Middle Class England

Agreed....but what I really object to is the massive differential between the working classes and the affluent classes.....faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much difference....how much money can somebody want before they're satisfied they have enough

Heck!!....the more money you have the better the accountant or financial team your able to afford and usually, the less tax you end up paying

Surely what's important is that the working classes have enough, not that they're only X% behind the more affluent classes?

I'm probably about as 'middle class' as they come...except I don't pretend to be upper class...which, when you think about it, means I can't be 'middle class' after all :p
Anyway, the point is that as long as I have enough money to live, I couldn't care less whether the next social stratum above me is earning 2, 10 or 100 times what I'm earning.

I'd like to be whatever this upper class thing is just for a day....then I'll happily drop back to my subterranean level.....armed with the bank account number for future reference of course
