Or unnecessary displays of excessive capitalistic
consumption.
We went to John Lewis initially to look
for some curtains and to spend a voucher Sue was given as a gift, but we did
end up with a few other items we had not planned on buying. My uncle Terry and
Gill had given us money for a new dinner service and so we found one we liked
(Sue was so excited about the mustard spoons we had this condiment with several
meals afterwards). While we were there we looked around unsuccessfully for a
new food processer (our one was given to us as a wedding present over twenty
years ago, and although it works fine is bulky and unattractive), and we ended
up with a Nespresso coffee machine. Also we found a new sound system to replace
our existing one that had become faulty. Quite an expensive visit in the end,
and as it turned out the curtains had to be returned as they were too short.
