Lawn
When I was younger, I can remember seeing a comedy sketch on TV about working class, middle class and upper class.
A few years on, I read in a newspaper an article about class, again it outlined the three types.
I thought hard about my own situation.
Being working class was not considered. I’m not sure why. These were poor people who you felt sorry for, tramps and dirty people.
We had a nice house in a new council scheme with an up-stairs and a back and front garden, so we couldn’t be in the middle of the class categories.
So, I thought, we must be in the only category that was left, upper class.
