I heard it said that Surrey maybe wealthier, but Berkshire has more class and old money. Is this true?

As was explained to me, Surrey is populated by the Nouveau Rich; stockbrokers, business executives and the like with plenty of cash. While Berkshire is home to the aristocracy and the professional classes; complete with their well-groomed educations and pedigrees. Ever wonder why all the major polo grounds are in Berkshire and not Surrey? And why Royal Ascot and Windsor Castle are favourites of the Church and Queen crowd?

Surrey seems very chavvy

Berkshire almost has a upperclass feel to it...

dunno why

But of course the southwest is best :)

Actually, Mr Jumpin' Jack Flash, I must admit that I have never wondered why all the major polo grounds are in Berkshire and not Surrey. And why Royal Ascot and Windsor Castle are favourites of the Church and Queen crowd.

I promise to give it top priority when I go to bed in ten minutes time.

Are the people of Berkshire called Berks?


Chuckler
It doesn't really matter to me at all.

I have class, I live in Buckinghamshire

Hi, you again! how are you...
yes I would agree with that; while a generalisation, most of the families we know in those areas do seem to fit that description...although I do also have a few friends that have made decent money in the north too

I'm just glad I don't live in either. I'm happy to be in the county in the UK with the highest disposable income (I'll leave you to figure out which one - it will surprise you).


can i be your pet?

WHAT? No mention of Manchester? Or Liverpool? Or Newham? Try East Ham for class. Or Manor Park or Plaistow!!

Seriously though, Surrey money can get pretty old too but I think as a rule you're right. Berkshire has more class and old money although what implications this might have in my life or yours i cannot for the life of me tell.

Interesting question though, i'll also give it top priority next to my sheep counting and ball scratching when i get to bed just now. First, a few more sips of tea, and maybe one more question. Perhaps i'll go on YouTube...


Graham H
No, Huddersfield has more class
