| But what if one
IS
"the Jones"
I hasten to add we are NOT (quite)
However a wee anecdote
Coming from a farming background ie father actually worked the land, no debt, say and pay for etc etc.
Stupid bitch of a no good spendthrift sister-in-law was comparing notes with one of her friends when I dropped in to visit the brother one day.
the gist of it was they were discussing a mutual acquaintenance.
New house
new furniture
New Cars
New clothes
Endless eating out
Two holidays
etc
etc
Then Yer woman says
"I dont see how they can afford it"
Having sat mute to this point
I interjected
"They cant afford it"
Boy o boy was I frozen out for that remark.
Sheesh!!
Alternalely
the local multi millionare travelled in a decrepit old car , dungarees & car covered in shit as he pottered about farming.
sound man that, by my standards |
