Good point, Owlie. And probably a few other extravagant weddings dragging the mean up. (This is being perhaps generous and assuming it has any basis in reality.)

I remember a colleague telling me that the average cost of an engagement ring was something that the word 'horrendous' doesn't cover (maybe 2*-3* annual salary?). Then he told me the "research" had been done by a well-known diamond merchant. He saw no connection.

I think the original American advertising strapline was ‘How to make a year’s salary last a lifetime’. A de Beers (?) advert trying to normalise massive overspend. |

I knew my bedside clock radio automatically adjusted for winter time. What I didn’t know was, setting the alarm the night before would mean the alarm would go off as if the clocks hadn’t changed - so my 6am alarm went off at 5am. 🙄 |
