I'm a Precariate, which is a new word to me, but for a lot of questions I could see how my truthful answers would be interpreted differently if I were living in Britain than where I am now.
For example, I go to the opera, but that costs about 10 GBP where I live and it's something young people do as an alternative to going to a cinema, which is cheaper than the opera, but the prices are comparable if you consider that you might buy candy, popcorn and soda at the cinema, which you don't at the opera.
The "people I know", I counted people from online, so that was a wide mix. I know professors, scientists, doctors, housekeepers, etc.
Also, my income level is very low for British standards, but I'd say middle class where I live.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
