I would be too embarrassed to ask, nothing to do with my self-respect. I just pay for the cabin (usually business) I wish to travel in so upgrading to the next one doesn't usually occur to me.
However I have in the past been offered upgrades on outbound TATL flights from LHR. It happened on a route i flew frequently and as a solo traveller on a Saturday from WT+ to Club.
