Chavs don't know what social classes are.

God damnit I'm a precariat.
I'm Established Middle Class, because I enjoy a diverse range of cultural activities, went to university and am comfortably off, secure and established.

It's biased to fuck.[/QUOTE]
the 'hipsters' you're referring to are probably way more cultured than you are anyway so i wouldn't worry

What a shitty 3000th post.
Does this really matter???
Took it for shits and giggles as an American. Technical Middle Class.
Traditional working class, bit bizarre seeing I'm not older.
