> Nobody claims to be working class I think "Working class" is a distinct thing from "Lower class." At least here in the US, I know a fair number of people that would claim the label "Working class", though I doubt any of them would claim to be "Lower class." "Working class" is a synonym for "Blue collar" to many people. "Middle class" is less of a synonym for "White collar", but I think that distinction exists for some people.
