Elite
This is the wealthiest and most privileged group in the UK. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:
- Enjoy high cultural activities such as visiting museums and listening to classical music
- Went to private school and elite universities
- Socialise with people who do a wide variety of jobs
Should've ticked I listen to rap and know a truck driver.

- Are young
- Enjoy a cultured social life
- Rent their home - almost 90%
...sounds like I'm poor but I try to live rich :s

Yeah, I did it again counting my £100 in the bank as savings, a joint income and saying I owned a flat I've actually sold a while back (basically £150k interest only mortgage sold on at no profit- so I can't see how that is a benefit to your social standing, was just a burden!), and went up to established middle class.

New affluent workers
This class group is sociable, has lots of cultural interests and is in the middle of all the class groups in terms of wealth. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:
Are young
Come from a working class background
Own their own home
Pretty accurate actually, although I don't personally own my home.
