A Tatler update for the modern age for those who are U (or possibly Non-U depending on how you view Tatler and it's place/readership)

Best explanation I've ever heard of class:
Is if you lock equal numbers of working, middle and upper class people in a pub. The upper class people will set about getting pissed and having fun with the working class people. The middle class people will stand in the corner sipping their sherry whilst jealously looking at the people having fun wondering; why are the toffs talking to them? Surely we've got more in common with them!
