How do you define a person that has class?
We were discussing at work today what we perceive as a classy person and it got a bit heated.
I said and I am open to be quoted on this that I would categorise a person with class, someone that was well spoken presented themselves well, took care of themselves and had a good education enjoyed the finer side of life.
I am not talking social class just a general classy looking person.

IMO its not about your accent, education, money, dress sense, or any of the other outer qualities. Its very much defined by how "nice" a person is and how much they care about other people and their feelings.
she seemed to know of the girl from the past.

she seemed to know of the girl from the past. Did you get to speak to her? Did she act like a "bitch" to you. You never quite understand what peoples motivations are for labelling people one thing or another really. Do you trust the opinion of the colleague who called her a bitch? She (the "bitch") might be a very nice person who deserves a second chance from someone more openminded

I was trying to compose a message, but you said it so well. I agree totally with your response Kate.
