You'd describe a nurse, a teacher, and yourself as upper class? You'd put them in the same social strata as the Queen of the UK or the Prince of Monaco? That's absolutely crazy.

To me upper class means the literally Queen, or at least something like her cousin's son's uncle or something like that.

If you don't own a country estate or have any staff then you aren't upper class.

Huh? There wasn't anything remotely middle class about Dan and Roseanne in my memory. They were proudly working class.

To me middle class means university educated, professional, two foreign holidays a year.
