    A: Yes

    A: No

    Q: Do you eat alphebetti spaghetti everyday in your pants
    A: Yes

    Then you are SAS Guru and you are not classifiable

    HTH

    and I object to being called SASGuru.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            I refuse to answer these questions on the grounds that they may self-incriminate me.

                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.

                    There are at least 10 mosques in Kerala, and I even know my way from the train station to one of them, the one that is the 2nd oldest Mosque in the world.

                    You really are a prat guru.

                      These questions aren't very good at differentiating class.
                      Aristos can be very materialistic and superficial.
