This has been discussed ad nauseum in numerous biographies of The Beatles, but John Lennon was the least "working-class" of The Beatles. Only Ringo Starr, who grew up in an impoverished area of Liverpool, was deemed as working-class by Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison. Harrison's household was a bit nicer, as was McCartney's, but it was Lennon's upbringing by his strict Aunt Mimi that was truly middle-class in regards to the comforts of home.
