I find this v interesting - I come from a very working class family (granddads manual labourer/farmer), and my parents started out this way too. My dad is now an indept. consultant though (&mum a community nurse) & wouldn't consider them and myself working class anymore.

I also went to local Christian state schools (that was the criterion) & was first one to go to uni (3 younger sibs followed though - now all have masters degrees). Makes me realise I don't come from a very 'academic' family.

I don't know what class I am because the UK class system is confusing to me even after a decade plus. A few years back, public school (= expensive private school) men told me that "foreigners aren't in any class" and also that my parents are embarrassingly short. So I'm confused.
