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.

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By Sue · Posted

      It was a weird place, and there never seemed to be many people in it. Stalls/selling areas (they  weren't really stalls as such) came and went. For a while there was an area upstairs as well. Around the beginning of ED  gentrification,  someone opened a champagne bar near the entrance. I think it also sold oysters, though there was another oyster place in the market, possibly not at the same time. Whether it did or not, unsurprisingly it didn't last long. I can't imagine they had done any market research, or even wondered why anybody would want to drink champagne in that kind of environment. I'm not sure an indoor market would work now, but what do I know. It would depend on what it sold and whether people wanted what it sold, I suppose. It wouldn't get much passing trade in Zenoria Street, so it would have to be very well advertised.

      Good places to eat near Rye Lane?

      By zork · Posted

      Guacamoles in Rye Lane market for pretty authentic Tacos  Ganapati on Holly Grove has some of the best south Indian  food in London - light, aromatic fresh, home style cooking - lovely location and people too. Forzawine is fun for a rooftop terrace, great view, cocktails and good small plates

      Looking for a car

      By thegreatbelow · Posted

      Hello, is anyone looking to sell their car? I’m looking for a reliable runaround and finding a lot of spam/scammers on other sites, so thought I would put the word out more locally thanks.
