Apropos my posting on middle class shoplifting and the raw nerves which were touched, an old TV sketch kept coming to mind:
I was amused recently when John Prescott (see TBLFP passim) did his series about class. He was in a high rise (in London I think) with some single mothers and asked them what class they regarded themselves belonging to. Prescott answered the question for them and said” I’d say you were working class” to which one of them replied quite seriously “I’d say middle class because I don’t work!”
Edit:
In fact here is the very clip!
