Middle class people live like LMC/working class here.  Dh is British and MC and when we got married I moved to UK.  Although I visited many times it didn't really sink in until I lived there.  Everything is expensive and crappy and people just have a low standard for everything- food quality, service, clothing quality, crowds, cleanliness, just everything.[/quote]

I think the problem is that many people have no real sense of what quality really is. If you like big cars, big fridges, big portions, then the US is clearly better. If you like quality tailoring, good wine, world-class restaurants, quality food, excellent holiday destinations, and fun people, then London is streets ahead.[/quote]

Yes and the point being that people in the UK will
Opt for the fine wine and quality tailoring and good food and will serve it to you in their too-small home that is cluttered and bit cramped. In the U.S., there is pressure to be house poor.[/quote]
