Are you a brand victim?

Too true, supermarket clothes for the kids (they don't need to last) M&S for mummy and daddy.

£15 for six small plastic "In the Night Garden figures".

That hurt more than buying two BMW's.

Mrs Tester’s father is a carpenter; a real old fashioned carpenter who did a long apprenticeship under a master craftsman. He always says ‘I’m not rich enough to afford cheap tools’.

Many brands are worth paying for. Others aren't, and in other cases the difference is too small to care about. Some examples:

Sainsbury's Yeast Extract vs Marmte? Marmite.
Hugo Boss vs Gap? Usually Hugo Boss for me, but mainly as their clothes will fit properly.
Cheapo dishwasher vs Bosch? My cheapo dishwasher has now broken; buy cheap and you'll buy twice.
BMW vs Ford? Very complex discussion, but I like a nice motor.
Budget fleece or The North Face technical expedition layer? Budget.
Ibuprofen vs Neurofen? Neurofen Scientists have proved the placebo effect can be 'worth' paying for!

Kitekat or Smart price Katkins?

Do you mean KitKat? If so, then KitKat.



Also forgot to mention the ultimate brand rip-off IMO:

Cava vs Champagne? Cava (or Prosecco).

Wrong. That just makes you a chav.

Wrong. That just makes you a chav.

Or indeed a Cav.

Mind you, there was a programme on Dutch telly at the weekend where they visited Champagne and looked at the production standards; some Champage houses are using grapes from second rate vineyards that don’t face the sun and they put in all sorts of additives to improve the flavour. On their visit to Spain they found that standards for Cava were somewhat higher in terms of grape selection and additives.

I used to like buying champagne until one day I was in a restaurant celebrating someone's birthday. £150 for some ordinary Champagne (£15 in Tesco) or £25 for chav bubbly. Chav stuff was excellent, and I resolved then and there to avoid paying for champagne.

Given the veracity of your previous claims, I'm beginning to get the impression that you're an impoverished gay jaffa living in a council studio flat on a sink estate in Swindon.
