    Are you a brand victim?

    Are you one of the mugs who gets influenced by the marketing and advertising industries ("You're worth it"!) or do you base your purchasing decisions on a sound analysis of the merits of a product.
    Is it important for you to keep up with the Jones's?
    Or could you not give a toss?
    Which are you a shallow tosser or a real person?
    Hard Brexit now!

      If you are both does that make you a real tosser?

      That's me anyway
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I am somewhat of an inverted snob when it comes to labels.
        I dont like them and I see no added value in them.
        On the other hand I do have some "labeled" stuf, mostly because it was what I wanted and it fit the bill at the time.

        Does this make me amixture of your two options? A Real shallow tosser!

              Damnit. I was going to say "No, I've never been on the receiving end of a call that he was shagging my granddaughter".

                I purchase on merit alone, most of my AV stuff is quite pricey but your average brand junky wouldn’t have heard of it, some people think Sony are the very pinnacle of technology.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    Well, they do do the best PlayStations.
