Baked beans, onions, Brussel Sprouts and a tin bath in front of the fire, the proper British way to have one of those fancy foreign Jacuzzi things...

Given DP's financial position, his jacuzzis probably consist of a tin bath he sits in while furiously using an egg whisk

Hard Brexit now!

Is that what they call it these days.

Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Are you at the top of the social status ladder?

Yes. I'm a contractor.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

I've got a bottle of wine from the Jacuzzi Estate in Sonoma if that counts. Well, we drank it but we still have the bottle...

Indoor pool here. We took the jacuzzi out though when we converted the gym complex and games room into an annex for the Father-in-law.

You'd think a pool is a far better social superiority marker than a jacuzzi, it must cost a fortune to build and a small fortune to run.

Not that much to run - around £100pm, it was already there when we bought the house. Outdoor pools are much more difficult to heat and it's far harder to keep the chemicals at the right levels. Plus you can only use an outdoor pool about three days per year.
