As you say...  eeek:

Mind you, who are we to judge, I'm sure he's always paid his tax and N.I, after-all, this family live in a caravan and dad surfaces driveways for a living. Not that I'm trying to stereotype like

I quite agree JOM, the father has obviously been putting away regular savings for this and sacrificing the comforts of a proper house for his little princess' big day.

We should not sneer just because we have squandered our money on bricks and mortar, educating our children and paying for things in general.



It was also nice to see the high esteem in which the family was held. I notice the photographer was provided for nothing by the Regional Crime Squad.

If he could afford that amount, it makes you wonder how much more he has stashed away. I never realised surfacing driveways was such a profitable business... whistle:

Its not so much the resurfacing as the 'salvage' rights to anything parked on the old surface beforehand I suspect.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
