Heh!

I once took a lass out with the offer of a kebab, bottle of white cider and sit in the park.

She actually seemed a bit dissapointed that I took her to a nice pub instead! ๐Ÿ˜†

Everything is for show.

Not long ago he said a mate of his had bought a ยฃ17 grand mtb, I just rolled my eyes.

Kids round here; 'nice bike mate, how much was it?'

Not 'how fast can it go?' like when I was a lad. No, just it's monetary value. Sad.

I know who I blame....

I don't think I've ever gone into a shop for one thing and left with something completely different [b]instead[/b] of the correct thing. Tend to buy both things... ๐Ÿ˜‰

I know people who have gone into the LBS for a chainring and left with a full bike. Either he was super materialistic or that was one good salesman. Dunno if he bought the chainring...

went for a tour round dairy a week or two back, they had a creamery on site, the impressive part, two piles of pots, one a premium brand one a cheap brand, exactly the same contents went in. So you walk into a supermarket the two pots will be next to each other and the only difference will be the pot.

Marketing don't you love it.

we are materialistic because we live in society.

I think part of it is fear of being without possessions we need to live so we accumulate a surplus. Then in part it is for status. iWant. And a part that it will make us more satisfied with living.
