[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The old-money people I know dress like bums, drive older cars and have old hand me down furniture - but expensive houses and educations. I think that buying stuff is boring to them and they are not trying to impress anyone anyway.[/quote] [b]The furniture thing is funny. In some circles in Britain it's considered nouveau to buy your own furniture. The "hand me downs" are often really nice (Queen Anne or Georgian) antiques with a sprinkling of granny's chintz chairs or sofa that, several decades on, look pretty ratty.[/b] Another thing. If your silverware includes fish forks, your family bought it after about 1880, so it's not truly "old." And don't call the stuff in your kitchen drawer silverware--it's flatware. [/quote] It’s not just in Britain. This describes my MIL to a tee.[/quote]
