I'd dispute some of them as being "posh" myself...
But have a look anyway (-:
I got 37 out of 100, then did it for my parents, who got 68, but wouldn't be seen dead with a framed degree certificate!
I get 13/100.
It is certainly a list compiled with the nouveau posh in mind. "Old money" people would, I'm sure, agree with your parents about the pretentiousness of framing one's degree certificate(s). But the, it's an American website, so what do you expect?Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Yes, that's how I feel. Also, quite a bit of it is in school holidays, which will be harder work for my dad looking after my kids without being able to pack them off to school for the day - although of course cheaper for me not having to take so much unpaid time off.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
