Then substitute the words "well-educated" for "class", if that makes you
happier.

Your pre-judged him to be well-educated because of his accent?

Not only that - the way he interacted with his child, the way the child
interacted with others on the bus..... you can't always tell, I agree,
but quite often you can.

I have to say that the pit you are digging for yourself is getting deeper,

And you really intend me to think that class/education indicators are
not often very obvious as soon as someone opens their mouth?
