Britain is the only country where people will automatically associate themselves with a class, ask your parents, they will tell you ''im working/middle class'' etc.... my parents whilst claim working class routes have risen somewhat and now consider themselves middle class (although some people with their professions would be considered upper class).

No other country has this - people dont like top be categorized and labelled as a rule, but in Britain we do this, there is not as much social mobility as many would like to think also . A study of working class surnames (such as Shearer - someone who sheared sheep) shows that these surnames has remained pretty much in their "class".Ill look for this to share...

Sorry to ramble - but Britain is definitely the most classist society.
