Different times breed different different individuals/generations. I think we are pretty spoilt by the relative affluence we live in today. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I try not to get too caught up in it as it's a fairly recent thing for me, disposable income that is. Growing up in Newcastle in the 80's and 90's few had a lot. I may take the mick out of my grandad but I wish I had half the discipline he has with money. Only half though

And just like that a pot (ex tester, never opened and gratis ) and a tube of C&E sandalwood cream added to my collection too. That really is me for a while now. I've got enough soap and cream to keep a grizzly bald for a year!

Yea sure, we believe that.
