I have the opposite problem. I am not one for ostentatious spending, so the women I meet consistently fail to realise that I am absolutely disgustingly minted. They'll clock onto some chav's brand new Adidas trainers and chunky sovereigns, and fail to appreciate my bespoke superfine merino 2-piece and 9th-century Byzantine signet ring as I slope off to Thunderlizard Towers for my pot noodle.

I think I'll be saved by the wife giving me a quick kick up the posterior if I so much thought about talking to any such lady.

Why? Been overdoing it on the old hormone tablets have we?

But, that could be offset by the number of greengrocers being drawn to the brand.

plus it screws up the sql strings in the access queries that the bank relies on for its transaction database

Why has Barclays not got an apostrophe (it was founded by the Barclay brothers, or something boring like that).
