The issue - UK - is we live in a wee fried country, where the majority, look to the state for support - here we go - and lack any drive and ambition to prosper. Wealth, perceived or not, earned or not, is viewed with envy, not good will.

My friend had the most over the top Rolls Corniche, red with white leather/folding roof. Self made, and loved to show it off.

He told me that he regularly had to clean the spittle off, wipe snot etc whenever he parked it. Final straw was when some clown poured a juice drink over the front seats and ruined the whole lot. Car up for sale - enough he said.

Now start talking aeroplanes and aviation, well, they all love you dont they. Yes I know its wrong, but that is the way it is.
