                Answer these questions and I can place you to a "T".

                These quiz has been carefully designed so that the questions are NOT in increasing order of importance.

                1. What kind of area do you live in?
                2. What type of house do you live in?

                These questions illustrate perfectly that you've confused aspiring middle class with 'upper class'.

                One thing you clearly don't know (and being middle class, I wouldn't expect you to) is that class is about class (as in you either have it or you don't) and attitude (including one's appraisal of oneself).

                Apart from Q10 all your questions are to do with money and possessions. You clearly believe that any slightly monied middle management "middle class" [sic] family who drive a 4x4 Volvo and send their kids to a minor public school (or who attended one themselves) have 'class'. No. They are crass.

                  Balanced working class ( 2 large chips, one on each shoulder).

                    1. In the middle of beautiful countryside, surrounded by fields, my fields.
                    2. A country house, foundations 1554, but mostly built 1600-1605, by a direct ancestor.
                    3. Public school, college
                    4. Several cars as I collect things, but like to ride a bicycle.
                    5. Do watches count? Lots of watches in a collection, but then I like to collect things.
                    6. Don't wear any.
                    7. Don't, apart from an old dress uniform which doesn't fit any more. If I have something formal to go to, I just buy a new suit, it then sits in a wardrobe for a few months before going off to cleaners and on to the charity shop.
                    8. Yes, several, but they're for the farm and businesses really.
                    9. Mostly visiting relatives at their homes or their summer houses.
                    10. Don't watch that much, but 'Destroyed in Seconds' is a hoot.
