Quite. We are playing with rich mens' toys, there's not really any hiding it.
Sorry I don't go for that. You don't have to be rich to spend 6k on the licence & 16k on the a/c. Plenty of just as un-rich can spend that on a Beamer & green fees. It all depends what one wants to do with the cash.
Trouble with this UK is the perception that anyone with an "original" idea or lifestyle is fundamentally wrong for having it. Tackety boots & flat cap mentality.
