On those charity appeal ads, why is it always mega rich people telling me I have to give up £8 a month for wells to be dug in Africa?
After you moneybags!

@Allelse Oh no! Definitely not! :-)
Some of my friends are a lot wealthier than me but none have assets in the 10^6, let alone 10^12, £££ league!
Half a million maybe, largely by house values that have increased by percentage rates over many years; but they have worked hard for their ways of life by gaining degrees and following highly-salaried careers.
I expect there are people who would consider even my very modest living - OHAC as the lonely-hearts ads used to say - somehow "rich"; perhaps even "privileged", whatever [i]that[/i] means.
I do [i]not [/i]though, throw about wild accusations I cannot substantiate, but might be based on mere prejudice or jealousy, especially about people I do not even know. If someone has acted criminally, such as by tax evasion he or she should be brought to account in the proper way. If not though, so what?
