The rise and rise of the working class
|
FROM the mockney tones of the Naked Chef to the popularity of
streetwise films such as Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, being
working class has never been so pukka.
Where once the British population would have turned their noses up
at any hint of a proletarian upbringing, today, being working class
is not only acceptable - it's positively cool.
The marked shift in attitudes, typified by the success of
television cook Jamie Oliver - and scores of other celebrities - has
been underlined in a new MORI survey which found that nearly two-
thirds of British adults now claim to be working class.
