I know my place.

Life used to be so simple - there was the upper class, the middle class and the working class. Because the middle class was such a broad church, it tended to be subdivided into upper middle, middle and lower middle.  But now?  According to the BBC and the LSE there are no less than seven different social classes.  In some cases it seems to be no more than coming up with new names - so Elite is just the old upper class, Established Middle Class is the old upper middle class. New Affluent Workers the old lower middle class, and Traditional Working Class is self-explanatory.  But the others - Technical Middle Class, Emergent Service Workers and Precariat - haven't a clue!
