The first book from Britain's best-known columnist and interviewer, Lynda Lee-Potter, mixes autobiography with witty social analysis - as well as astute advice for anyone who wants to master the class system.

- Does class still matter?
- Why are some things vulgar in the working-class but merely eccentric in the aristocracy?
- Can you move across class, and is it easier for men or women?
- What are the giveaways to your social background?

Using funny, frank and sometimes painful descriptions of her journey from working-class mining background to life as part of an upper-middle-class family, Lynda Lee-Potter shows how class permeates every aspect of our lives. She decodes everything from clothes to language to values; and laces her book with wicked anecdotes about household names - from Earl Spencer to Mick Jagger, the Countess of Wessex to Victoria Beckham.

The provocative questionnaires (like "Are you a social climber?" and "Are you only pretending to be posh?") complete a devastatingly accurate and entertaining account of the British obsession with class.
