I recall a TV programme where they were talking about, I think, sound 
engineers at the BBC in the 1930s. It seems they had to wear a suit and 
tie at work, except on Fridays when they were allowed to wear a sports 
jacket, (They were all men of course.)

Incidentally, there is only one working class.
