Apparently, I'm "Technical Middle Class". Never heard of it!

Precariat

This is the poorest and most deprived class group. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

Tend to mix socially with people like themselves
Come from a working class background
Rent their home - over 80%

I think that they have a fucked up questionaire. Not that I mind being a prewhatever, it's that their presumptions are based on a very middle class mindset.

I'm precariat too - ironically "poor" would have been a more economic word to use.
