This isn't America.

Yeah I know. Like I said, weird place where Noble/Aristocrat is a form of a profession


I'm guessing the difference is you English got all India-happy during the Victorian era, long after we got our independence.

albie, don't you ever get tired of posting comments along the lines of "but that's not how we do things in PHILADELPHIA"?

[Provost Harrison]

You still have the equivalent, you just don't realise it...you have your dynasties and old money.

And yeah, we have a lot more influence from India than you do, and a lot of Chinese food as well. Both are fairly even in terms of numbers.

[KrazyHorse]

Same is true in Manhattan (below 72nd st, say). There are more sushi shops than either Chinese or Indian...

You scored 85/100 for economic capital


You scored 85/100 for social capital


You scored 50/100 for cultural capital


The low cultural score is due to not getting out much, not philistinism. I'm a parent.

Not really.

The world is a strange place filled with the wonder of human diversity of experience.

[C0ckney]

it's just a shame you've never got to see any of it albie...

[Dauphin]

Ok, signed in. 90/40/80.

The UK has more Indian restaurants than Chinese restaurants, but more Chinese restaurants per person of Chinese extraction than Indian restaurants per person of Indian extraction.

Alby:

In terms of occupations:

UK working class = US Blue collar
UK middle class = US White collar

Class in the UK is not really dependent on how wealthy you are.

It's also much less of an issue than it was even 10 years ago.
