speedingbullet, do you think that USA or UK is more class concious? I haven’t figured this out yet.
I feel that in USA, class is a function of money, whereas in UK class is more of function of birth and upbringing.
I noticed that in Europe, rich people drive older, smaller cars but they live in nicer homes, in the best neighborhoods, that have been passed down the generations. Rich Europeans would never think of moving to brand new master planned communities in the suburbs.
Rich Europeans also dress better than Americans. In my view, they have better taste when it comes to fashion and the arts.
Middle-middle and lower-middle Europeans look more ragged than their American counterparts.
Just my observations. I don’t know if I’m correct.
