[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ there is a MASSIVE difference between the class system in the UK and that of the USA.

Firstly the USA one is built entirely around $$$

The UK one is built around family background, education and in many cases, yes, titles. Lots of young Londoners have them and keep quiet about them. They don't die out you know. When I was a teenager growing up in Chelsea I was friends with two sets of "landed gentry". They may not have had so much land any more but they kept their titles thank you very much.[/quote]

I really like that about England.  I come from an old money US family (with English roots) and no one gives a flying F.  I would absolutely love if we were judged about that.

Unfortunately I couldn't even move to England to get that status because I'd be a "new money American" either way by their standards.  So i for one would be thrilled with the class system (since this is an anonymous board).  I also think respecting family traditions and quiet status is actually pretty great. [/quote]
