Good Lord, no. Dreadful Proles: they should know their place.

@th3Derek that is your inference, not mine. Fizzy drinks are a luxury. If so poor, buy necessities before luxuries, surely? -
@JuliaHB1 Trust me, they do. -
@th3Derek yes, I know they do. And they shouldn't. when I was a child, we couldn't afford luxuries like fizzy drinks -
@JuliaHB1 No: they DO buy essentials, not luxuries. Christ, they can't afford anything but essentials. -
@JuliaHB1 For those of us with disposable income, it's genuinely embarrasing. -
@JuliaHB1 BUT: Who are you (or me) to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't want or buy? -
@th3Derek sorry for my tardy reply! The state tells people what they should or shouldn't buy all the time through taxes. For the common good - 1 more reply
