I know these are generalisations but compared to how we used to think of the class structure things have changed completely.

What???

Until very recently I was in a fairly well paid 'office job'.
However I am from a council estate in a very working class town (albeit with tory roots).
Just because I worked to get promotion, does that mean I am therefore middle class?
So because I want to better myself, I can no longer be working class? I find that insulting.
I believe class is something you are born and bred into. Even if one day (please let this happen!) I became very well off, I would still consider myself to be of working class origin.
