As was explained to me, Surrey is populated by the Nouveau Rich; stockbrokers, business executives and the like with plenty of cash. While Berkshire is home to the aristocracy and the professional classes; complete with their well-groomed educations and pedigrees. Ever wonder why all the major polo grounds are in Berkshire and not Surrey? And why Royal Ascot and Windsor Castle are favourites of the Church and Queen crowd?

Surrey seems very chavvy
Berkshire almost has a upperclass feel to it...
dunno why
But of course the southwest is best :)

Actually, Mr Jumpin' Jack Flash, I must admit that I have never wondered why all the major polo grounds are in Berkshire and not Surrey. And why Royal Ascot and Windsor Castle are favourites of the Church and Queen crowd.
I promise to give it top priority when I go to bed in ten minutes time.

WHAT? No mention of Manchester? Or Liverpool? Or Newham? Try East Ham for class. Or Manor Park or Plaistow!!
Seriously though, Surrey money can get pretty old too but I think as a rule you're right. Berkshire has more class and old money although what implications this might have in my life or yours i cannot for the life of me tell.
Interesting question though, i'll also give it top priority next to my sheep counting and ball scratching when i get to bed just now. First, a few more sips of tea, and maybe one more question. Perhaps i'll go on YouTube...

I was raised catholic and went to Protestant and Evangelical churches for years. There are many decent people in these places and in some ways its good they exist because they do give some people a taste of a relationship with God. However the true faith as practiced by the apostles is what the Church (Catholic) does today. Spouting a few theories that you have or heard on the Catholic Church just shows how dumb and mislead people really are. I am fully informed about Evengelicals etc, I can argue twenty differing viewpoints using the bible alone. I have since come back to the real church and guess what Jesus is there!!

Are the people of Berkshire called Berks?

Hi, you again! how are you...
yes I would agree with that; while a generalisation, most of the families we know in those areas do seem to fit that description...although I do also have a few friends that have made decent money in the north too

I'm just glad I don't live in either. I'm happy to be in the county in the UK with the highest disposable income (I'll leave you to figure out which one - it will surprise you).

It doesn't really matter to me at all.
