Wedding lists
Last time I was in John Lewises there was a couple being led around to write their wedding list. Both obviously 35-year-old accountants who had absolutely no need to be given loads of expensive presents. They were cooing over an expensive spatula and I just wanted to shove it up his arse.
(and hers, but for different reasons).

Wedding these days seem less about the act of fideltity and more about a shopping extravaganza paid for by the familes of the bride and groom.
You're supposed to give the happy couple a gift to help them along in their lives. It's tradition.
I'm not sure anybody gets married just for the presents.

What I would like cannot be purchased.....and I would, never really know who it was from so it would be off everybody (although the Admins would play a very special part in it)......
