I’m talking about class, of course. We can
dress it up in words like ‘socio-economic group’ or ABC1s or whatever, but that’s
what it basically boils down to. My parents were both teachers, her dad was a
civil engineer, we both have post-graduate degrees and this fact is, to our
families and immediate circle of acquaintances, nothing special. Dual-income,
2.4 children, nice house with a garden and foreign holidays on a fairly regular
basis. We are quite definitely, smugly, appallingly, middle class.
The mothers yelling at their kids in the supermarket are not.
