The head of BBC Radio 4 has defended his station from criticism that it is too middle class by countering that this is no longer an exclusive label.
How would you define a middle class family?
Jane Garvey, the new presenter of Womans Hour, put herself on a collision course with her employers this week after she claimed there was a middle class bent to every one of its programmes.
However, Mark Damazer, who runs the station, said that the middle classes had expanded and no longer only consisted of posh people drinking expensive wine.
Do you agree with Mr Damazar, who echoes John Prescotts sentiment that were all middle class now?
If posh people drinking expensive wine is no longer an accurate de*****ion of the middle classes, what is?
Is there anything wrong with a radio station catering to a middle class audience?
