neutral  writeaway: only answer given, accepted by Asker and no peer comments (ie input) at all. dangerous to suggest it for this reason because there are many erroneous answers in the glossary. sometimes the right answer is there but was not chosen.not a surefire method imo

A simple way of measuring people is to use the National Readership Survey's social grade definitions, which are now widely used for all sorts of reasons. These definitions are A, B, C1, C2, D and E - and range from professional (in its true sense) as A through to the lowest grade workers and pensioners at E. Although these are primarily a measure of income, they also help define the different values of different groups; A, B and C1s are far more likely to buy a broadsheet newspaper than those who fall in C2, D and E categories.

nrs social grade definitions (uk)
NRS stands for National Readership Survey (NRS Ltd). NRS is a not-for-profit company which is funded by the UK Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA), Newspaper Publishers Association (NPA), and Periodical Publishers Association (PPA). The NRS social grade definitions have been in use for decades, ostensibly for audience profiling and targeting by the media, publishing and advertising sectors, and have become established as a generic reference series for classifying and describing social classes, especially for consumer targeting and consumer market research. See below for the NRS estimates of uk population by social grade Jan-Dec 2004.

Glossary-wise, the translation should be \"social grade A\" with \"upper socio-professional group\" as an explanation.
