Nor me. FWIW when I do go to any such events (and it's normally
friends or 'friendly family' (rather than just people who happen to be
related somehow)) it's mostly because I'm (currently) the main driver
in the family (and so I can't drink either) so I'm there anyway and
because they all know me (and my strange ways) they find me a nice job
to do, like servicing their PC's, assembling something (least year it
was a flat pack CD cabinet) or fixing stuff (they warn me in advance
so I can take the right tools).

The idea of sitting down watching Xmas TV or playing charades would
drive me mad(er)!

Until it is acrimonious. And then the man get shafted good style and the
women strips him bare in 90% of cases. The UK divorce laws are so open to
interpretation by the judge. Judges will not go against kids or the woman or
ethnic minorities etc, for fear of ridicule by minority bodies and do
gooders. The law need tightening up and more specific. I know many men
that have been financially raped and will be very poor when retired, while
the ex has very large house and had all her debts paid for by him and gets
money every week from him as well.

Women from abroad come to get divorced as they know the system heavily
favours them. Woman from abroad come here and set men up and walk away with
money they could not earn in 6 lifetimes in their countries. Ever heard of
Fathers For Justice? The men in purple.

to us, yes.

I know we are all different etc but I wonder what it is in people that
makes them feel good by being (or thinking they are being) better than
someone else just by buying certain stuff?

Maybe if I had more money I would think the same way, but I doubt it.

I buy what I want and need for *me*. It's not always the cheapest (but
is rarely the most expensive) but more_often_than_not, bought on it's
actual merits rather than any badge etc. However, if you don't know a
particular field, going with one of the generally respected badges can
be a safe move (spares / sh value etc) but may not always be the best
VFM move. You aren't buying the badge per -se in that case, you are
hopefully buying the practical facets you hope it represents
(reliability, performance etc). I don't think that is the same thing
as buying say a Prius, simply to make yourself look 'green' (as some
of the celebs seem to have done).

Don't get me wrong though, there is a part of me that enjoys knowing I
have a 'nice thing', however I can generally only afford such by
buying it cheap / broken and repairing or restoring said myself.
"That's nice, someone's done a nice job on that" means a whole load
more to me than "you must have paid a bit for that ...".

Horses for courses though, without those who can't do, most of us here
would have nothing to do! ;-)

p.s. I worked with a lad who spent a fortune on clothes. Whilst
chatting to him once (with me standing in my Tesco jeans and market T
shirt) I asked him to try to explain it all to me. He said summat
like:

"I paid 60 quid for this shirt, 80 quid for these jeans, 100 for these
trainers, 200 quid for this watch and 50 quid for this belt. I know
that when I'm walking down the street people will see me and think
'He's the dogs' ..." ??? So it appeared he wasn't buying this stuff
only for himself. To me, value , comfort, practicality are what I
think about when buying clothes (on the rare times she can get me to
do so) not what other people might think (and why she often says "If
you think we are going out with you looking like that ..!"g).
However I guess he could be right, there must be a group of people,
similar to him where it would all be important.

Perhaps he'd read this newsgroup and realised that some people use

Well it could be I suppose (in concept) and is it a pity that there
are people that may do that sort of thing (the name calling) that
allow those bothered by such to do what they do (be 'flash')?

We have a local 'homeless guy', sleeps rough, collects weird stuff but
has (apparently) more money than most. I have spoken to him several
times (once in the local Internet Cafe where he was checking his
emails (and he always pays his way)) and he appears to be a very lucid
and well educated chap.

Ironically, quite a few of the 'flash' people don't have a pot to pi$$
in?

Well, sometimes possibly. Luckily the teenager that lives here isn't
motivated by such things (yet anyway). The other day she was
interested to calculate that she was about to go up the pub with her
mates wearing 19 quids worth of clothes, and trust me she wouldn't
leave the house if she didn't look 'ok'.

Nope, she comes back from a raid of the charity shops with a couple of
bags of very nice (as in made rather than label) clothes and change
from £20. ;-)

That's not to say all her clothes are cheap though ... like her Stihl
trousers and Haix boots but they don't often appear in the charity
shops. :-(

Cheers, T i m.

If you have a lot of money, the last thing you want to do is advertise
the fact.

You will never be sure who your friends are, and will constantly have to
fend off people trying to take it away from you.


People's reaction to someone with apparently more money than they have,
is that about 10% smile, shake your hand and say 'well done, you deserve
it' about 25% smile and say 'well done, you deserve it' while gritting
their teeth and working out how to get their hands on it. 25% just look
****ed off and 50% will key your car out of pure hatred.
