Yeah. It's very unlikely to get something these days. The last person I can think of that got a hereditary title (not necessary the last person to get one, just one that I remember) is Dennis Thatcher getting a baronetcy. And wikipedia tells me: "It is the only baronetcy to have been granted since 1964, and is one of only three extant hereditary titles awarded outside the British royal family since 1965." Anyway, I'll keep up my gym going etc just in case I am inside an orphanage when it comes under attack. I'm not sure though whether the fact that new hereditary titles not being created is more or less egalitarian? It now means unless your family did something 800 years ago you're out of luck.
