Do you really know?

Listen Later

Don’t you just hate it when you see a rich and famous person wearing worn-out trainers or patched clothes, pretending to do a mundane 9 to 5 job, or hanging out in a shabby home decor as if it were stylish.

It’s especially irksome when it’s someone who’s been born into money, isn’t it? And when you realise that the apparently shabby items they’re wearing actually come with a price tag that’s out of reach to the majority of us.

It's just an expression of creativity though really, isn’t it? Wow, you could get a brand-new-looking pair for five times less than that! It kind of erases the reality of real hardship, doesn’t it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
