@@mark.lawrence Generally people choose the middle price if there's a range of prices (in a supermarket for instance). The lowest price is assumed to be low quality, and the high price bad value. I don't think this is irrational actually; in many cases it really is true that you get what you pay for.
@@mark.lawrence I know what the Veblen effect is. It's really just an umbrella term for any item that has more demand as its price is increased. It's typically used to refer to items with demand driven by conspicuous consumption (people choosing a more expensive brand because they want to be seen to be able to afford it, essentially). What Zenrith was talking about, people preferring a more expensive product on the belief that it is better quality, is more _precisely_ described as the common law of business balance-that is, "you get what you pay for". It's not always the most important consideration, but there's certainly a rational basis for it.
This sketch was funny five years back. Now we have cereal cafes, vloggers (who speak just like Thicko here), artisan cupcake shops, 'popup' everything, cat cafes, owl cafes, 'street food' everything, adult nurseries, Gin everything, disgusting craftbrew you can only buy in 1/3 pint measures, 'upcycling' centers where you pay over the odds for old trash, man buns, mankles, cocktails served in jam jars and burgers served on shovels. Laughing now?
Alanko Donnet Very well put it together mate. And you are looking inside those cafes and they look out at you like you have just crawled out of an half opened tin of baked beans. At times I wonder, am I alien to their world, or are they just living in an alien world....?!
some of the new IPAs are they are over flavoured. Had one last week with orange flavour which tasted of bath salts.....rather drink crap like Carling than that hipster piss.....
A few years ago I was told by a 'youth' that I looked like James May. Now, I've never owned a TV in my life, so initially I thought he meant Brian May. But when the penny dropped, I was somewhat mildly indignant, until I realised he was right. It had never occured to me. :/
I did actually have a landlord like this bloke who sold utter crap to land rover discovery types. It was hilarious to see. Charity shop rubbish painted up,and they'd pay fortunes
The people who are saying he's a James May parody are only saying that because they don't know very many posh people. This character is several levels of posh higher than James May
Fine it's not a joke I would've made but it's worth saying: 'And SHE reminds me of a young Theresa May' esp with that Weird and Needy range that could be giving her that in a state of peril look..
That's, "Identikit", mate. Short for "Identification Kit", it was (still is?) a method of producing a likeness of an individual by using pre-printed facial features (eyebrows, chins, noses, hairstyles etc) that could be fitted together. Used by police when questioning witnesses about what the bad guy looked like.
I’m just glad someone is addressing the Venn diagram situation humanity has going on right now 😅 and just for the record, I don’t consent 🕊❤️ cuz it’s weird and impropriety and quite gross - I do like civil liberties..
I had hoped that I could keep the fact that Catherine Shepherd is one of the hottest women in the world to myself. Showing clips like this on RUclips is a personal setback.

Meantime those that make the handbags are in poverty and only getting $1 an hour for their piece work . I’ll still thinking those with the money to buy the hang bag are still laughing.
@@xr6lad Most of them don't get paid a $1 but I will take your point and run with it. Understand that a dollar in some nations can buy far more than it can in the USA. It's more than possible to fill a belly in some nations if a person makes 5 dollars a day. Now you may think we should pay them the same as we do in the west, but that would destroy their economy. You need to start looking at things in context because if you paid western wages to someone in Somalia then you would collapse their economy within a year due to inflation. I'm not defending the sort of slave factories one see's in China, but you also can't assume being paid 5 dollars in Indonesia is the same as being paid 5 dollars in the US.
How much pathos would there be if we saw her gain enough cognitive function to realise that she's a vacuous non-entity living a life that is nothing more than a meaningless void peppered with other empty vessels clanking about in the desolate cesspit of pampered overprivileged futility. I need to lie down.
1:21 holy hell Harry just evaluated and summed up the contemporary UK middle and upper class tossers in one sentence, not many comedians can do that. Usually takes about 4-5 episodes!
These people are now leaving London ,and moving to villages ,they still behave like this ,they go to "gastro pubs" and but furniture made from old pallets and scaffold planks .
It must really inconvenience you to see people different to you, going about their lives. Imagine someone having the nerve to visit a gastropub! The horror!
Is that after advocating for uncontrolled immigration and voting remain. Get ready for the local dairy farms to start producing soymilk. Oatmilk is becoming a thing now, it's liquid crap

Why do people get angry if someone is ‘thick’ Me personally I find it easy to warm to ‘thick’ people they’re usually good fun and don’t take life too seriously
Catherine Shepard is brilliant. My best mate lives in Notting Hill. I was there yesterday and the whole place is rammed full of shit! Thats why he's moving out.
@@ronniesimmonds9782 Some men believe that by continually announcing they find a random woman attractive, confirming they are straight, or being slightly homophobic, somehow enhances their own masculinity or the masculinity they would like others to percieve. In actual fact it makes them look a complete twat. One can have fun with these people by playing a form of office bingo. Everytime they complete a "macho" action, bring out a sheet of paper and check it off.
Mind you its quite true to real life, as much of the UK market is full of crap at rip-off prices. Especially to the chinless wonder new rich. Its no wonder it was easy for the talent of Harry Enfield to parody. Nice chicks in these sketches, so its worth watching for these as well as the laughs. Nice one Enfield!
No she's upper middle class. Upper class folks are on a whole 'nother level. Instead of their daddy's being part of some narcissistic banking circle jerk their dads are barristers or some shite.
So there aren't people that don't own property and live on someone else's land? There aren't people who do own property? There aren't people who own land that other people live on? There aren't professionals such as Doctors, airline pilots, barristers, accountants, etc? There aren't people borne into wealth such that they don't have to work to afford to live? What planet do you live on?
Equal rights for everyone? Really? Going slightly off topic, so a boy has the same rights as a girl in respect of genital mutilation? A man has the same rights as a woman in respect of their children? Back on topic you have chosen a definition of class contrary to that which is in accepted use. It is generally reported that there are now seven social classes in the UK.
