    Truly posh people don't flaunt their cash (a lot of them dont have any)
    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

      My girlfriend is Lady of Glencairn.

      I think there are about 20,000 of them?

        for example the Royal family
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            Indeed.

            Someone my Mrs was at uni with got access to her trust fund on her 21st for £1 million. But she never flaunted it.

            It's in the breeding.

              My frivolous 'spends' goes on handbags (not necessarily very expensive logo designer ones sported by celebrities costing £400 upwards, but certainly very good leather ones like The Bridge), handmade jewellery from my favourite designer (usually silver with semi precious stones (I got a commissioned item made recently that cost me the best part of a grand), good food and wine, Amazon goods - books and films. I also like buying kitchen gadgets as I love cooking. Occasionally, I attend concerts, but not that often. I don't spend a great deal of money on lots of clothes or hairdresser visits every month or extravagant beauty treatments like massages, tanning sessions, facials, mancures etc. I look fine anyway (so people tell me).

              Not much goes on holidays or extravagant going out to posh restaurants or bars. I don't even own a car. In fact, I lead a fairly simple life, usually.

                Don't really live that excessively.

                Am away all week and so try to enjoy the weekends, out for dinner, concerts, occaisional weekends away. Also try to make the most of holidays and since you're missing out on billable time it's worth spending a few pence extra to make sure you enjoy it.

                Drive an average car and live in an average house. Not much to say really.
