Perhaps they ought to do something about it and become richer? A lot of
people can't be bothered to improve, prefering to stay poor by choice and
moan about 'rich' people.

An unfortunate aspect of English culture I feel, it's easier to sit and slag
off those who make the effort than to get off one's arse and do something to
improve one's situation.

I once heard and interesting definition between the British and American
outlooks. A Brit sees a desirable car pass him, and thinks, "Why the f**k
should he have that?" whereas an American thinks "Hey, that's nice, I'll get
one" and makes the effort to achieve that aim.

The richest people in this country are Estate agents and Lawyers, and they
get rich by screwing other people.

That's complete tosh -- just how many of the richest 500 people in the
country are estate agents or lawyers? I suspect not one of the top 500 is
an estate agent, and any lawyers in that group probably got that rich in
some other occupation.

And by what definition do either of these professions get rich by "screwing
other people" -- they provide a service that those people are apparently
prepared to pay for in a free market, which is more than is true of the
average denizen of a university (including Imperial College).

And before you start a socialist rant against me, I am not an estate agent
or lawyer, have done very little to enrich either profession, don't have a
second home and do have a master's degree from IC.

Can you count prostitutes in that description?

They don't usually get rich, do they?

The good ones do.
Not the smack head back alley/railways arch types.
The really good ones even have bluechip level accountants to make sure
that they are paying proper tax, and investing their earning to cover
for when they tits sag.

It's just that in the documentary series about an American brothel in
Nevada (where it's legal), they don't seem to make all that much money.

Someone told me it's legal to be a prostitute in the UK as long as you
don't solicit on the streets and as long as there aren't more than two
people working in the same building. Is that true?

By the way, nice choice of car (I drive a Felicia).
