I'd love to know the breakdown of the entire population of ED post-gentrification. I would imagine, most wouldn't be traditional middle class because they have money, and we all know the poor but supposedly cultured move to ED cos they can't afford Clapham and Islington hehe

I just ploughed through the full survey (before anybody says the obvious, I'mlaid up in bed with a bug :)) )


Much to my disappointment it shed no further light, just gave me scores for the three separate dimensions and told me the survey results would be published in 2011!!!


Oh and it kindly creates for you a coat of arms :) )

I don't know how to copy and paste on my phone, blush, but if you google BBC Great British Class

Calculator and possibly add Lab UK you should get to it.


You have to sign in or register on the BBC site first which is a fairly lengthy process.


Also the link to the full survey is not that obvious.

I'm precariat too!


I only listen to indie music & spend most of my time on Facebook.


I only know cleaners & shop assistants,

apart from all the accountants, teachers, lawyers, brain surgeons etc. etc. that I converse with on here.


Does that count?


Maybe it will move me up to the next level!

It's a bit confusing.


The 'long' test was the one used to create the 7 classes, it's from 2011


It gave each respondent a percentage score in terms of economic, social and cultural activation.


These results were analysed, and the outcome was 7 clusters of individuals which gave rise to the broad social groupings.


If you want to imagine it visually, then first think of a normal line graph of results whe you see peaks and troughs. Where lots of people are very similar (a peak) this would be called a social group.


However, this study had three different criteria so it was 3D (like a landscape) and and the clusters were 'hills' rather than flat peaks.


It demonstrated 7 particular 'hills' which were classed as the social groups in the survey.


For example there was a clear 'middle class' group in terms of social and economic similarity. However, because there was a third criteria 'culture' it was clear that some of these middle classes were highly culturally activated and some not. So these were split into two different groups - the traditional and technical middle classes.


The 'short' test was a very simple way to see which of these hills you are nearest to, and hence your social group.


There's no need to do the long test.

Mmmm - downsized house so have smaller house but far more savings - know variety of people but ticked all boxes in social apart from Twitter/Facebook, listen to hip/hop and play video games, but I am traditional working class (even though I don't work!) The Beggars Opera anyone!

      I would add that the significantly increased event structure of last year, with trackway everywhere as well as the huge metal barriers, completely changes the feel of the park. I agree with Fishboy that there is a convenient blending of park with the Common, to give the impression that only a small section is used.    I still do not understand why this event cannot be moved wholesale to the Common. It would be closer to transport hubs and all other events seem to take place on the Common.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      So - after spending weeks lying about everyone else, not to mention yesterday’s disgusting comments about Rob Reiner, Trump is officially suing BBC for 10 billion  the gall of that creature.  And anyone who defends him.  He cares nothing about “truth” Telegraph/guardian/times all reporting 10 billion.   However in bbc  news they are saying 5.  Hmmmmm

      Piotr and his team just completed our ensuite and we couldn’t be happier. They were a lovely team to have around and took great care with protection and clean-up every day. Communication was great and there were no nasty surprises with the final invoice despite a few challenges with the room along the way. The standard of work is incredible. We still can’t believe this room is in our house!
