Porsche owners - Great British Class Survey
Discussion
A bit of fun although I guess most Porsche owners would fall into the top catagories -
Elite: This is the most privileged class in Great Britain who have high levels of all three capitals. Their high amount of economic capital sets them apart from everyone else.
Established Middle Class: Members of this class have high levels of all three capitals although not as high as the Elite. They are a gregarious and culturally engaged class.
Technical Middle Class: This is a new, small class with high economic capital but seem less culturally engaged. They have relatively few social contacts and so are less socially engaged.
New Affluent Workers: This class has medium levels of economic capital and higher levels of cultural and social capital. They are a young and active group.
Emergent Service Workers: This new class has low economic capital but has high levels of 'emerging' cultural capital and high social capital. This group are young and often found in urban areas.
Traditional Working Class: This class scores low on all forms of the three capitals although they are not the poorest group. The average age of this class is older than the others.
Precariat: This is the most deprived class of all with low levels of economic, cultural and social capital. The everyday lives of members of this class are precarious.

A bit of a laugh. In the elite category. Private school and university. Not me left school with two grade C O levels. Socialise with people who do a wide variety of jobs. Well that is true. I have mates that are very affluent and those that don't have a pot to piss in. If there is one lesson I have learnt in life. Never judge a book by its cover. Visiting museums and listening to classical music. Well if the museum is full of interesting cars then yes. Music would be Jaz. Anyone else out there into Jaz trombonists. See I knew I was in the elite

What a crock of sh*t! Im as middle class as you like, but I havent got two shillings to rub together: where does that leave the 'survey'?
The established middle class is not necessarily high in economic capital. It will be high on social and cultural capital.Unlike the technical middle class, or nouveau riche as we used to be called
Although the survey has me in the 'elite' division, primarily due to a build up of illiquid capital in our house.
