Countless sociologists have spent thousands of hours on research to identify the essence of class roots. I could have made it simple for them with one irrefutable test.
It’s a slightly warm day and you don’t want to wear your jumper. Do you (a) tie it round your waste or (b) drape it over your shoulders? |  | | |  |

Neither.

Easy way to tell class if you have to use your body to earn a living then you are Working Class if you use your brain to earn a living then you are Middle Class and if you get others to earn money for you then you are Upper Class |  | | |

I'm just popping to the fishmonger to buy some fish heads to feed the servants.
When I get back, I'll ask 'em. |  | | |

If you're middle class you'd (hopefully) be able to spell waist correctly.

When I was a lad we dreamed of having a jumper. Had to wear a cardboard box with holes cut out of the bottom and sides... |  | | |

Pullover = landed gentry / upper class.
Sweater = middle class / Americans
Jumper = I know my place. | |

You're out and about and feeling a little peckish.
Do you A, pop into Greggs for a sausage roll or stake bake, or do you B, pop into M&S or Waitrose to grab something you can't pronounce? |  |

The general rule ususally is that if you have to justify how working class you are, you're probably middle class. |  |

What about tying it diagonally over one shoulder? That seems to be the way nowadays...among both the clicking limebike youths and the braying inheritors. A class unifier. |  | | |

But how many who are middle class are only one or two generations from working class?
I just hand my jumper to my wife to carry. | | | |

Met a lass at uni who was always banging on about how working class she was, especially compared to me. Turned out she lived in a converted farm house, her parents were a head teacher and a consultant. When revealed, her rationale was essentially just she was Northern and I was from London.

Unless Soops does literally tie his waste (Shit to the oiks) in a jumper. I suppose you could use it to sling faeces at your neighbours. I'm warming to the idea, to be honest. | | | |

A box? I would lie at night in my paper bag dreaming of a box. |  |
