Are OS holidays, domestic service and private schooling for kids the domain of the middle class? Yikes, I am most likely lower class then. I would have held these as upper class domain?
Self delusion ?
Lower class: Rent, old cars purchased 2nd hand, short local cheap holidays, public education.
Middle class: Mortgage, new or near-new car, long holidays perhaps OS at top end, public education or some private if really lucky.
Upper class: Own home and perhaps others, new luxury car, OS holidays and travel, all private education.

Naturally a scale of grays and not three bands.
