April 4, 201313 yr Result: the class group you most closely match is:Technical middle classThis is a small, distinctive and prosperous new class group.Now that's a load of rubbish, because the profile it is showing for me doesn't look remotely like their sample illustration. Their algorithm is clearly struggling here!I re - entered the details but changed from renting my home to owning my home and I was promoted to traditional working class ----- how wonderfulActually it is wonderful, because it illustrates that TWC aren't prepared to take on a shed-load of debt commitments, and in these economically strained funny-money times, that is most certainly something which should be looked UP to! And, whether they choose to acknowledge it or not, Maggie T had a big hand in changing attitudes here!
April 4, 201313 yr Thatcher, or as I like to call her - that evil monster Thatch - did con TWC into loading themselves with debt and stiffing local communities of affordable housing stock. Yep, I refer to that scam where many of TWC were encouraged to take-out morgages to buy Council owned houses; obviously, with these monthly outgoings TWC couldn't risk going on strike for better conditions as "their home would be at risk if they didn't keep-up the payments". You've got to had it to the evil witch ... gelding many in TWC at a stroke ... brilliant! However, what are we left with ... little affordable housing stock for youngsters. Yes, she did change attitudes ... she created me, mine, sod the rest and her heirs are still at it. However, there nothing worse than TWC thinking the sun shines out of her ar*e ... class traitors the lot.
