This is a question Class

Dan Prick tugs our coat and tells us: "I'm enormously middle class, and was once dragged along to a bingo club by a former girlfriend and her mum. It's incredible the fury you can whip up in a room of old biddies winning a fuckton of money and telling them 'This is a load of old shit, really'". Like Pulp's Common People, have you ever tried to act down, or act up?

Bollocks. They work for a wage or for the profit of others, ipso facto they are working class. Even more so if they are both in state sector jobs.
The lumpenproletariat is a subset of the working class, not it's entirety.
It is arguable that modern policing and nursing with degree level entry may be aspirational middle class, but not of the presumed era of the OP's parents.
