How much will we spend on illuminating Oxford Street? How much will we pay someone to switch the Oxford Street lights on come to that?
That annoys me too, if only in terms of wasted electricity.
Perhaps I should just put on a Victorian nightshirt and change my name to Ebeneezer...
condemning an animal to a poorer life to keep costs down and feed our greed rather than our hunger.
I shan't be doing that at least, being vegetarian.
But yes, I'm guilty of buying things I don't strictly need too.
I think it's the ostentation I find annoying too - "Look! We've got way more money than sense and we're proud of it!"
But then, as you say, I'm not their target market - and even if I were rich enough I'm not the sort of person who enjoys sitting by a swimming pool in the middle of a desert for a week as a holiday
