Thanks. I don’t know about others but I’ve found this thread fascinating. Like the original ‘watchgate’ discussion, it is, like you say all about your perspective and what you take for granted.
It’s fascinating some people think watches are investments, some buy them to tell the time. One man’s treasured £400 timepiece is another man’s ’disposable tat’.
Someone even thought a £50 handbag being considered ‘expensive’ was hilarious (I’ve never bought a £50 handbag and if i did it would be posh to me)
Some don’t bat an eyelid discussing buying an island or slamming into someone else’s car just because they ‘annoyed them’.
The ones who ignore parking restrictions (which are there for a reason) because they can afford all of the fines.
The people who are happy to buy all the puddings then have a bite of each ‘because they can’ and not bother using their Chelsea flat because they can also afford the hotel nearby.
And some of us think that’s jaw dropping, Some think it’s morally wrong. And others think it’s perfectly reasonable. That’s their choice. Their money, their choice. ‘Hard earned’ money. If you want a piece of this? Just work harder. Don’t be so jealous!! Don’t be so bitter. Don’t be so ‘poisonous’.
Im left wondering where the real ‘poison’ lies here? Is it in the people who dare suggest this isn’t ideal in a country (talking UK here) where people have to choose between heating and eating and we’ve got kids starving in the school holidays because there’s nothing in the cupboard and nothing in the fridge and nothing in the purse to fix that either.
Or is the poison in the other part of society, that turns a blind eye on that bit and just continues to waste money on opera tickets they don’t use and empty Chelsea flats and £19k curtains and takes it all for granted.
Such an interesting snapshot into people’s minds.
