I hear you, Marty.
A lot of people are bitter and intimidated by success- I don't begrudge you yours. If your trappings have been acquired by honest means and have taken out the vital insurance of being 'good' on the way up (as there is the possibility of humble pie on the way down), that's fine by me. Success does not a tosser make- blind arrogance, delusion and the belief that your income bestows superiority upon your neighbour makes a right royal prick.
This sort of belief system is poisoning the soul of a nation, and a lot of born-with-silver-spoon-up-the-arse Brits are vacuous, lost little entities.
