so does that make pensioners upper class? after all the closer you get to death, the less you need to work to support yourself.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

That's the problem with short definitions ... they are normally a bit ragged at the boundary.

If the "class" in working class is taken seriously, then it would depend on whether they are living on their own accumulated private wealth and the pension is a bit of extra pin money, or they are living on the social (public or private) pension.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
