Lynne59 Some of the most snobbish prigs of all don't have any money. They can trace their forebears back to William the Conqueror, they went to the most elite schools, but they don't have the brains or the personality to actually earn a living, and when the ancestral home has to be sold to meet death duties, they are adrift.
The other side of it is that some others whose proven family tree goes back five centuries, who went to the "right" schools and who are on chatting terms with half the aristocracy have no snobbery or "side" at all. I knew one who made a living hiring out Portaloos, and the actual work of hosing then out and delivering them was done himself, not by underlings.
Money isn't the key to class, but having it , and having what used to be called "breeding" but is now blanketly condemned as snobbery isn't either. Nor are possessing money and/or breeding automatically a bad thing. "The rank is but the guinea's stamp, the man's the gowd, for a' that"
