The questions were lazily phrased and most didn’t fit into the “Agree” “Disagree” clasification.

Oh, and the question that was along the lines of, “Do you work long, hard hours, for minimal pay?” may as well read, “Hello chap, are you stereotypically working class?”

If you take me as myself I suppose I’m working class or lower middle class, if you run on what my parents are (which is the traditional way of doing things I believe) then I’m middle class, but they’re both very much working class by birth, what’s that all about! :)

I was halfway expecting loads of similar questions, on the lines of “Do you have a conservatory?“, “Have you thought about sending your children to private school but can’t afford it“, “Have you any criminal convictions for beating your wife?“, and “Do the kids go hungry while you drink lager all night and watch Sky TV?”</p> <p>I don’t get what “alternative” is, either.</p> Matt: yeah.
