Out last night and an acquaintance bragging about their 32 year old son earning getting paid £170,000 for a job as a senior associate planner at a company called DWD. Apparently it's because "it's London", but he does it all from his spare room in Derby! Oh and he might be a director now. We're always hearing about this son and his money, investments and skiing. The other son earns about £27000 and doesn't give a damn.

Everyone turned, someone else felt a failure for only earning £46,000. Arguments that they don't deserve that much, the salaries of firefighters and nurses brought up, that they make more of a difference and are more valuable. Junior anaesthetist on less than a third of the planning chap.

They then went on a rant about the Tories. I might agree there but I don't want it served up as entertainment.

I wish I'd stopped in.

The entire group sounds like a barrel of laughs and I would be booking my next night out with them immediately.

Or I could be washing my hair for the rest of my life.

Yanbu. Who wants to socialise with the type of people who a) boast about how much their children earn b) think that earning a lot somehow makes them a superior person. Gross.

There's nothing worse than a bragger.
The UK is full of them.
