Morning TV thought

[rootbeer1]

What gets me about the BBC TV show, Cash In The Attic:

Typical British family needs some money for some semi-vulgar purpose -- trip to a theme park, fancy night out, videogame console, etc.

So the TV show crew comes in and combs the house for anything of value to sell, to pay for that purpose.

"This diamond ring your late grandfather used his life's savings to buy, which was originally owned by the family of Winston Churchill, and which saved your grandmother's life when she was trapped in a car underwater and she used it to cut through the glass, and which was celebrated in a 1950s TV documentary, Diamond Ring of Destiny -- it'll fetch at least 40 pounds at auction! You're well on your way to that Playstation Plus!"

So many of these families get rid of unique family heirlooms for a pittance, to pay for consumer goods, or transitory things like Eurodisney trips, or spa weekends.

Wankers.
