Class obsession

I'm sick of reading that Brits are obsessed with class; the implication that other people - usually North Americans - aren't the least bit concerned about it.

Perhaps someone could explain the use of expressions such as blue collar; white collar; soccer mom; preppy; wrong side of the tracks; ivy league type etc if not to denote class.

Good riddance

At last the loathsome woman is no more.

Thatcher. Good riddance.
