What social class would you put me in?

I went to school and worked really hard, was always top of the class and have numerous certificates of achievement along with Head teachers commendations. I was always the outsider at school with many of my "friends" continually saying "You're posh, look at you, posh car, always get what you want, (no i am not a spoilt brat. I always waited, and never had a tantrum), etc. " I was brought up with Manners, to be polite respect my elders and always act with dignity, grace and poise. My exam results put me in a position to go to Grammar school as my parents wanted this. I also gained exam results that got me head hunted for Universities. I am at University studying for a BA (Hons) in Arts and Humanities, particularly Art History and Literature. I’m interested in Archaeology, Surrealism art (Salvador Dali is my favourite artist), classical Music, and History. I’m also hoping to gain a History of Art diploma with London Art College. And I’m looking into Cambridge University. I am also a part qualified AAT Accountant and hoping to continue with CIMA and perhaps ACCA at a later date. It is my wish to send my children to Public School even though I will have to pay fees. I grew up around Bewdley in Shropshire with family in Yorkshire, and Ludlow. Lived in the west midlands area for convenience and only during the school week except during Winter as travelling to the country was more inconvenient. Holidays and most weekends were spent in the country. I particularly have a love for Hampshire as it seems so peaceful and my perfect area for living. I came from a very good family on both sides, My Mothers side, well my Grandfather and his family before he married, owned land in Poland, and there was a priest in the family. The family also have lineage to the following; Counts, Countesses, Barons, Baronesses and Knights . The family were captured and tortured during WW2 because of their social class. My Grandmothers side of the family owned businesses, and also have nobility ranking dating back through history. There were many males of our family who were in the military. Mum was always looked after by my father who didn't really like her working, but she did work as a teaching assistant to avoid boredom. We have traced our Polish roots back to 500bc when the Goths were around and we have connections to Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia etc. My father was a police officer/dog handler/SAS/Grenadier Guard/Security Guard/and Scenes of Crime plan drawer. The Archbishop of Canterbury is in his family lineage. and he is related to a famous racing driver (Formula One) who is his cousin. He also went to Art College. My brother lives in Australia and owns his own building firm, he has built his own home many times in various locations with one location even being on the beach. His current home has an back garden view of dolphins swimming past. He is married to accountant. My step-sister lives in Sweden and is married to a Pilot and owns a large home with approximately 5 acres of land next to woodland. They also have a yacht which is located nearby. My Niece is a trainee Doctor, and my Nephews are studying.

1. Social classes are an antiquated an Neanderthal way of separating humans into suborders and groups of inferiority and superiority when in fact all humans are identical in nature (retards aside) and have basically the same ignorance and intelligence as the next. Stop quantifying yourself according to society and set yourself apart from these ignorant knuckle dragging idiots that want to classify you as poor, middle class, or preppy.
2. Around?! Come on...
3. It doesn't really matter what class anyone else thinks you are in, the most important thing is how you view yourself, and to an extent how much you use this to identify with yourself. I have a good job, a good education through state schools and a good academic degree, a nice husband who also has a good job, and everything I want socially and financially. I don't identify with a class - I am happy and healthy with a good standard of living, and that suits me fine! These are the things that are important to me, and I believe strongly that if you can find a way to have a good quality of life, irregardless of your background, then what can be better?
4. I would put you in a class all your own, because you are a legend in your own mind.
