Social Class Article

The article refers to the different classes as having the 'Seven Deadly Sins'

One being how you talk which is referred to as being the "U and Non U".

For example: 

A lower class person is more likely to say "pardon?" whereas a higher class is more likely to say "sorry?" or "what?"

However, if a lower class person were to say "what?" They would initially drop the 't' to make it sound like "wha?"

Another word is 'toilet', upper class people are more likely to say "loo" or "lavatory" whereas a lower/middle class person is more likely to say "gents" or "ladies" or just call it a "toilet" or a "bathroom".

Another word is 'napkin', most upper class people would refer to it as a "serviette" whereas a lower class person is likely to say "napkin" 

Another big term used is 'dinner' or 'tea' 

Tea is usually around 4o'clock after lunch when you have scones and tea. Upper class people refer to dinner as 'supper'.
