Do you consider yourself middle class?

There's now a way to officially find out, according to an etiquette study which has compiled a list of tell-tale possessions for any middle class household.

The more of them you own, the more Middle England you are.

It includes 16 items, from handbags to posh fridge freezers, that set the middle class apart – according to William Hanson, author of The Bluffer's Guide to Etiquette.

Here's what Hanson claims middle class people have:

  1. Smart TV
  2. Dyson vacuum cleaner
  3. Barbeque
  4. Vinyl records
  5. iMac
  6. Nutribullet
  7. Antler or Samsonite luggage
  8. Wood burning stove
  9. Spiralizer
  10. Mulberry bag
  11. Matching coasters
  12. Boiling water taps
  13. Hot tub
  14. Aga range cooker
  15. Smeg fridge
  16. Brompton bike

And the 'etiquette expert' has also developed a handy scale – from 'a little middle class' to 'extremely middle class' – depending on how many of the items you own.

Have you got a Nutribullet? You're one step closer to being middle class, according to 'etiquette expert' William Hanson.

Hanson also says a Brompton bike is a middle class purchase.

0: Not Middle Class

You're a true person of the people. Kudos on ignoring the middle class masses, while you cycle to work on an adult-sized bike and chop vegetables with a knife like your forefathers.

1 - 4: A little middle class

Caught between practicality and opulence, you're an interesting mix. Perhaps you're resisting middle England or are a fast riser up the list. Is it worth getting a record player for those vinyls?

5-12 Very middle class

Nice and secure in the upper-middle classes, your suburban home is full of Mulberrys, Nutribullets and the barbecue where you host your similarly well-to-do friends on a Sunday-afternoon

13-16 Extremely middle class

There's no two ways about it, you're a country lord! Celebrate this achievement by trying to fill your abnormally huge fridge and spending more time arranging fancy coasters than drinking your Chai tea off them.

Hanson said: "The middle classes have always been known for their love of material possessions and for keeping up with their neighbours, with suburban one-upmanship taking place on a daily basis.

"They are constantly looking for the next thing they can install, fit or mount in their homes to be a cut about those next door."
