    I honestly can't see why huge money should be spent on funerals though, I'd rather the wife and kids spend it on a great holiday.

    My grandmother had no funeral at all. Her line was that she spent so much time going to friends funerals that she didn't want to inflict hers on anyone. I may well do the same - I'd think it odd anyway to be commemorated by someone who had never met me telling people who did know me about me! Funerals are bizarre!

    It's my birthday soon and i'd like to buy myself something that signals membership of the upper class.

    Any suggestions?

    To be upper class just say that you have everything you could possibly want already, then tootle off to the pub in your 2004 Volvo with your favourite Spaniel while wearing red trousers. If you don't have red trousers, get a pair of those for your birthday.

    Can you buy a hooker? I thought they were play-as-you-go?

    This is what they spend their money on in Leeds.

    Note the lovely horse statue with the tail on upside down...

    And, just a few doors down - what do you get if you cross an overblown Barrett home with some clumsy 'battlements'? Why, Wigton Castle of course. And you write it on the front of the property 3 times just incase nobody notices (and make sure you illuminate one so that nobody can miss it at night either).

    Nothing wrong with red trou.

    Or living in Fulham for that matter.

    Or working in the City and just finding out you have a healthy bonus yesterday and going for a nice meal out in Notting Hill to celebrate.

    This is part of a natural progression and it won't be long before you'll be voting conservative. Don't fight it, it is your destiny :wink:

    I'm an enterprising soul. You realise they're there to keep you in, not keep me out?

    If you're properly rich, the prospect of p!ssing half of it up on tax is no biggie ;)

    Don't drag your right wing fascist bollox into this thread as well. Get a soap box and f**k off to Hyde Park. After that you can have a break on Clapham Common.

    45% and falling - so you can get an extra bottle of champagne in thanks to George and Dave :)

    Anyhow, look like I wound someone else up....

    The problem is, it doesn't matter how much you earn, I would guess 99.99999% would consider what they paid to be the biggest factor and any decent accountant would tell you the best way to keep most of the money, its just the way it is.
    Some take up the idea, some don't but you would do well to earn a decent salary without being told of the loopholes when paying higher rate tax.
