So I just popped down to M&S, and my goodness I have never seen such a bunch of poor Telegraph reading cases in all my life. I guarantee that at least 1 in 4 of the boys of the parents there have double barelled names - which are not inherited. These boys are clearly sent to private schools, but not ones good enough to grace the rolls of the Headmasters' Conferences. I may have seen them at the RAC when I was forced to go there once on a charity fund raiser, but Boodles? Whites'? Never!

So I did the only thing that I could have done, really. I asked for their card details... a Centurion here, a Coutts Gold there, but nothing special and got onto Steve who looks after things for me at Hoare's and asked him to send them some XMAS hamper money. They'll never be pistonheaders at this rate, but at least they may be able to make it Waitrose once in a while.

Your post doesn't make any sense. Try paying attention in English. Oh, and shop at Asda next time.

I don't need to speak English. I'm too good for it. I'm a pistonheader!

I normally would, but they have ceased to deal since a rather dreadful incident, which I am choosing not to relate but in which I was definitely surperior to them!

Maybe Aldi is more your sort of place? The resentment for people who've done better than you is palpable.
