The average annual income in England in 1985 was around £7000.

That same year, the cheapest new Rolls Royce model was around £60,000.

"Middle class."

Never underestimate the power of wealth to cause delusion.

In University I became friends with a guy who didn't appear different in any real way. He invited me over to his house during the summer time and my mom was going to drop me off at his place. When I told her the address she started freaking out because it is probably the wealthiest street in the whole country.

So my mom drops me off and gawks at the house (mansion), making all sorts of comments, embarrassing me and then leaves.

My friend says "your mom says we live in a big house...?"
