Completely relative, as with most things. Even the poorest people of the UK are wealthy relative to, for example, many in Africa. That is of course not to say that the poorest of the UK should be thankful because at least they're not starving like some in Africa because that would be trite. Anyway, there is no single criteria for what's wealthy and what's not. Governments all over the place use arbitrary figures for taxation purposes, nothing more. You may be rich in comparison to some, not so rich in comparison to others.
Exactly and it was of course a rhetorical question. Im waiting for those who overuse this pitiful misuse of a banal word to come up with something otherwise maybe they should simply just plead nverted snobbery.
You re too smart to be caught up Andrew.
I ve got a nice car, money in bank, have several holidays/breaks, nice new designed gardens and a spaning new driveway too-not done by any godblessyousir paddy with a tipper truck.
Do I feel wealthy ,in spirit yeah, in fiscal terms well no because I have to watch my money, unless those who ARE wealthy who can spend without questioning anything- that to me is wealthy.
Seems being raised in a small/rented house with parents who were manual workers makes you forever working class and thus envious and bitter towards anyone who has seemingly lots of money.
I d say generally "wealthy Swansea people would be living in Derwen Fawr, but in comparison to our fans in the south east they are paupers.

I feel Im in good company here,for once.Two sensible posters.
Granted I post often to wind up but this constant shouting by Leanne about how poor Wales is, "IM from the Rhondda valley" (no shyte) how many kids are "in poverty" does my head in.
"In poverty" when we have kids who are morbidly, clinically obese by 10, and adults who consume more calories than half of Guinea Bissau .
"Vulnerable" to me are kids who have no adult guidance or pastoral care and whose main pastime is feckn around on a mobile phone or playing an inane computer game.

There's a clear link between poverty and obesity. Cheaper foods are the least healthy ones.
That excuse doesn't wash when you're 43 mind so I have no excuse.
Its often the case those whom you refer to are unable or unwilling to eat healthily as Ive alluded to before. if Kids learned to cook instead of feckn around on line they d see they could eat healthily mightily cheap.JEEZ, I d help with a weekly breakdown of Aldi s cheap fruit veg.
And monny, I couldn't afford to live where you do, ergo you are wealthy and therefore fair game for our chums with massive axes to grind.
Well I reckon I've probably fought hard to uphold Mr Clase's values in life whilst being selfish enough to accept the rewards when lady luck rolled into town (and that's all it ever is, a matter of chance). I admire people whose heart is in the right place, care about society , and live their life according to their principles. I despise anyone that supports a system in a rich country that leads to food banks and a systematic attack on people too poor and uneducated to fight back. It makes my skin crawl.

I imagine you are a tidy enough guy mr perch,
however!!!! I must say that most of the working class that have made it good and are in middle classish jobs like solicitors achitects etc are right basterds and soon forget their humble beginnings. Especially those in power in local government I despise them they are so arrogant and the riddled with conceit their false manners are cringeworthy.
It seems when I work in Mumbles there are a lot of this type there, you can tell who they are with their false attempts at snobbery, their partners are probably drug dealers or ex drug dealers whove now moved into property management.
I do dislike this type of person.
there is as you say clasey an epidemic of obesity but they do not make it easy for people who are tight for cash, there are far more rubbish high calorie meals at affordable prices than there are healthy meals.
mr perch the vegetables in aldi are great tasting and good value, but as you say most people do not know how to cook.
why don't the schools revert to compulsory cooking but this time compulsory to both male and female, those damn womens libers truly messed that up.
Life is a competition.. Your life has been structured to compete.. Unless you're from a 'higher class' family.. We're all effectively competitor's.. Everyone attempts to get an edge over everyone.. You were born to compete since you're out of the womb.. If you all understood the whole system.. You'll understand why it's like it is.. It's all about keeping Great Britain Great 'apparently'.. The reason the whole system creates animosity, greed and jealousy.. Is because it makes you compete.. Competition creates ideas, wealth and progression.. The people who try and con the system know it's a competition.. They know it's every woman man and child for themselves.. The Hunger Games is weirdly similar.. It's alright.. I'm practically Katniss Everdeen.. District 12!
The awkward moment when a Welsh Club become the Champions of England.. shh
The Swansea Way.. To upset the odds.
