Regarding the OP:
I always thought that was just a classic English/Brit sentiment .... "Born a peasant - Die a peasant." You know, the elite ruling class rides on the backs of the commoners.
I mean for gods sakes what do you expect? You people still have an elite royal family with crowns and carriages and class privileges and knighthood and all of the many wonderful things the Dark Ages offered.
... and people think Americans are backwards.
