We don't have a flash car, cleaner or Rolex's, but our living room has the WOW factor.
I'd like to think i'm not a snob, but if your living room is smaller than mine you ain't cuttin it.

Personally i couldn't give a toss what anyone has or doesn't have. And i don't care what people think of the stuff i have/don't have.

Sorry, but for me it's all about whether you're smiling or not. 😀

You see, he's cool!

In fact, he looks a bit like me. Without the grille though.

I have real Crocs and a Creative MP3 player that also has a tiny video screen, and FM Radio.

Also have a Freeplay Companion windup radio, and two real SAKs, one is the SWISS CHAMP and has a leather case.

The people that you imagine are your friends would disagree.

Dislike any sort of status symbol - e.g. I've never had a car anyone would think much of.

However I'm in Burke's Peerage which wasn't my choice - not that it means anything but it's a thing I suppose.

My status symbol.... Is my casual scruffiness, flippant demeanor and general ennui that only the truly well-to-do can pull off. Like using an Old Etonian tie to hold your troos up.

Only those that matter could ever recognise my elevated station in life. Everyone else erroneously thinks I'm just a lazy git that's given up.

The truth is often said in jest. Unfortunately my inlaws are much the same, the difference being they are not remotely aware of it so lacks any contrivance.

Well Burke's Peerage has an online search function, and there's NO ONE with the surname Shark in there, so I'm calling BS. 😀

I once worked with a bloody grumpy mechanical engineer called Burke. I'll send him an e-mail tomorrow to see if you are in the next edition.

Jamie, what is that quote from?

Status symbols, not my style. If I can afford it and it's right for the job then it will probably be purchased. Whether anyone else likes it / hates it is irrelevant except those I share a house with. This is probably why more of my stuff gets kept for ages. Money spent on shiney objects is money not spent on going places and doing stuff.

Yeah well my Great Grandfather lost the family wealth so all pretty pointless. The other side of the family has an estate near Rutland Water and a hereditary peerage.
