Quote from article on the BBC yesterday:
"The British society mechanism never seems to change and it doesn't allow people to move up or down,"
"We understand it in a weirdly unspoken way that other countries don't."
I've never got how it's apparently just a British thing, it may not be called the 'class system' overseas but daylight snobbery exists big time Stateside for example, the schools you went to, the background of your family etc. and surely exists across the wider world, it's just what societies do for the most part, human behaviour surely.
