That is the impression I had too (that it was overstated), until I visited and experienced it firsthand, from Birmingham to Oxford to London. Perhaps the countryside is different. Of course it's true the same can be found in the US, but my experience with that is that the rich in the US only care if you are rich, whereas in the UK it seems much less than about just the money.
- Balero 8y agoWas there another common factor that linked these people? You mentioned that the one's in Oxford were from the university? They tend to be a bit older and to think they're better than other people (joking!!). And old institutions do tend to drag a bit. But you are right there is a 'class' element, like how you speak, where you went to school, that isn't just money. It does seem to be going, luckily. Sorry again for your bad experiences! edit - made statements clearer
