You also need to consider the British Labour government's attitude towards the wealthy in that period: not quite the French Revolution's "off with their heads", but close. | |
| Jun 23, 2021 at 10:30 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | @Nico Maybe. But I am less fond of learinng such things unreferenced in comments, but quite eager to read such info with refs contextualised to the question within an answer. Perhaps you might help and suggest an edit to the unreferenced assertion in the last line in this A? | |

| Jun 22, 2021 at 15:56 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | "Quite high"? As a not-so-snobbish bitch, I'd say, I wouldn't be able to live at all without spending all that little pittance within the hour… (IE: I guess you should qualify what you mean by high/much, as such terms are relative, and with any depiction of English people: consider the class they represent in that movie. By coincidence, I also guess that this would be a chance to add some references to your answer.) | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 15:19 | comment | added | Fattie | hi @MarkJohnson ! (1) as I'm a new user on this site, I removed the part you have mentioned. (2) I certainly know the film; yes it's an excuse to leave and the joke is that it doesn't make much sense since the figure mentioned. (3) I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by your reference to politics? Cheers | |
