Well, yes, that would fit. I guess bourgeois means "middle class", which is how they saw him. Maybe my word "posh" wasn't exactly correct. I'm from a very similar northern-England working-class background to the Beatles and we would have called anyone who owned their own house "posh" - we didn't use words like "bourgeois". I think he lived with his aunty Mimi in her own house. We would have called him "a posh kid".
