I was surprised to not be asked about reading habits - perhaps I shouldn't have been? :?

There's only the English (British?) who'd even be remotely interested in finding out what cl_arse others think they're in. :lol:

To be honest, the idea of class is just a political tool today in the UK. The great god is money and not birth. Because, believe it or not, Class that the politicians are always talking about comes down to birth. Whilst there was limited upwards mobility in the middle classes, there was only marriage and birth in the upper classes. Of course there was Downwards mobility in all classes....

Those days are gone. People should move on. But they don't because the politicians don't want them to. It's such a cheap vote earner.
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who understand Binary and those who do not.

So I cast my mind back to 2007 and filled it out based on my life then, and it came up elite.
I would have called it, tourist myself. Of course I'm going to show to to shows and gigs etc. we don get those things often here.

Putting in details for here, I come out technical middle class. Tbh, I think the two results are around the wrong way, but are still a load o twaddle
