Middle class by modern definition in the middle 1/3 band of the income distribution, no?

Nah, not for me.

Working class is the majority of people, maybe something like 3/5ths. Then middle and uppers are pretty tiny (not many royals/lords).

But there's lots of markers of middle class not just money.

[betaby]

Perhaps. But than that means what working class of 80s were able to afford homes/flats and now does not.
