The attitude, besides the small percentage of yuppies in the financial sector who probably make up most of the readership from the UK of this blog, is 'I know my place in our society and for me to rise above it is not a correct one since myself and my family have been indoctrinated to this by many generations of toffs.'
This is the reason the British have always been of the mindset 'I am what I was born and I shall not aspire to much better'. Even though there has been small changes in the general population, it still permeates British society and culture.
