to think the World has gone completely mad........

You are right, Eloethan.
Apparently the top 1% in Britain grab more than their counterparts anywhere else in Europe. Fortunately, Marmight, it might change soon.
There are not enough people in London able to buy property at such grossly inflated prices. Banks can no longer make enough profit to justify paying over 2000 bankers more than a million a year. Your chocolates might have to come down to £500 per box!

There was a woman on This Morning yesterday who spends £2000 a month on her dogs. Her money I know but it seems obscene to me.

There are very few of them, but they are the ones in possession of most of the wealth unfortunately.

I agree these people live in a whole world different world - thank heaven there are so few of them I suppose. Someone once said 'The Rich are Different' yeh and how!!

London is the home of the 1%, Marmight. Per head, there are more people with more than £21m in assets (apart from their main house) than anywhere else on the planet. That includes the largest concentration of Russian millionaires outside of Moscow. They probably all shop in Harrods. Somehow I do not think the plight of the malnourished comes on their radar.
