    I remember the old joke about C&A being labels so the wife can wear her underwear the correct way round...

    High end event - they show not interest in you, you're just a supplier

    Has anyone else found this?

    Are you worried about gimmick infringement, Toby?

    I would have been shot for a comment like that so thought I would make the most of it.

    Just backing myself up for my comments after that, mainly for people that have less of an ability to read between the lines of speculation or light hearted, (and at times highly amusing) off the cuff non serious comments.

    It's the 'wealthy' (not millionaires) who always try and 'look' rich, and will pull out the suits and designer shoes.

    I've met many multi millionaire and wealthy people over the past 5 years and have lots of stories!! But there's definitely a difference between the very rich and the wealthy.
    It's the difference between " old " money and " new " money. In general, old money has better manners.

    Why aren't you sitting in a certain Golden Arches car-park with a coffee at this time of night?
    How do you think I posted this for free, having had no WiFi all night? And guess what? I didn't have to pay for my coffee either. The lad said would I like a large loyalty one at no extra cost. Do bears live in the woods?

    Budget event- they can't do enough for you, keep you fed and watered all night.
    Mid range- Often ignore you.
    High end- keep you fed and watered, appreciate your input.

    That's tongue in cheek, i've been treated superlatively well, and ridiculously badly by all classes, believe me, and can't generalise with any degree of accuracy.

    Toby, stop it immediately. You're beginning to talk sense, and it's very unnerving.

    If I'm being honest, I often dread higher end gigs, as the Hooray Henrys and Henriettas often have no respect for the kit at all. I think the worst behaviour I've seen has been at such events.

    Inverted snob? Me? Much as it may surprise folk, I actually have more characteristics of a true snob.

    I always have, I am just grossly miss-interpreted at times.

    Don't tell me, you're actually trans gender!

    Two " s" is a young female, one "s" is someone hard to comprehend. I'm fairly sure you only fit one category.
