John - this is a complex issue, and I suppose it is not really on-topic for TarBoard. I think what has happened is that there was an understandable move towards social equality after WWII, but 60 years later the whole thing has gone too far. Hopefully, the pendulum will eventually swing back slightly, and we will all be treated as equals. I felt that Emma Holt would be derided as 'posh' if she lived today, but perhaps I was allowing my gloom as to the state of Britain to spill over onto TarBoard, which I do not think is a Good Thing.
