I'd be taking a close look at the wording, just to ensure it is a pair ;)

If someone want's to spend their money on that and they can afford it I don't see how it makes them a fool?

Why buy a 40K car when you can buy a 20k car ?
Why buy a 3k watch when you can buy a £10 watch?

The car example is fairly reasonable, better would be to buy a £1,000,000 car or more, especially those ones you don't get to drive.

If i had the money to purchase a £1m pound car I'd be doing it!!


It's all just relative. Doesn't make anyone a fool at all.

A £1,000,000 car would look like a £1,000,000 car, something people would take notice of

A white tee shirt would look like . . a white tee shirt :D

The assumption there being that people only buy expensive things for other people too notice

Nope, simply the fact that more people would take a second look at a 'super car' than a white tee shirt, and recognise class and style over stretch cotton
