This reminds me of an article I read some time ago and which still pops up on the Net. A woman had a job cleaning the houses of the rich and she wrote what she saw inside those houses makes her want NEVER to be rich! I will never forget that!

Also, I think of the cover of a record album I still have. Steeleye Span's 'Below The Salt'. One cover shows the lower-class end of the table with not that much food but apparently having a lot of fun. The other shows the nobles standing stiffly before more food. Marley, does that sort of capsulate what you write here?
