Cretinous Celebrities and Dunning Designers

It is late and I am tired. But not so tired that I cannot seethe with rage at watching a programme on the TV about one of the new breed of tycoon-gangsters, who buys readymade suits and shoes, from a Continental 'Designer', for up to £15,000 a time! Bearing in mind that you can get a top Savile Row bespoke suit for in the region of £3,000 and a pair of bespoke shoes from one of the great makers for around £2,000, one begins to wonder how some men simultaneously have the ability to make the kind of megabucks that they can blithely throw away on TAT and have absolutely no comprehension of quality goods or how to dispose of their hard-earned cash sensibly. One equally wonders how on earth they retain their vast wealth when there are so many oleaginous charlatans out there, willing and able, to strip them of it.
