BA "ABC1" (i.e., "middle class") 52%
Ryanair "ABC1" 59%
UK population "ABC1" 55%

BA "C2DE" (i.e., "working class") 48%
Ryanair "C2DE" 41%
UK population "C2DE" 45%
I thought we were supposed to be a "classless society".

Anyway, I dispute the middle class statistic as way too high.

Anyone who has to work for a living is working class. Given that we only have 2%, or thereabouts, of landowners who do not need to work, and a very small number of those with no visible signs of income (in whom the police are interested), approximately 97% of the UK population is "working class" - not your traditional cloth-capped, overall-wearing workman I grant yo, but working class nonetheless!


...........Which just goes to prove that 96% of statistics are probably made up!
