To reiterate, it was an anecdote to illustrate that in my area the middle classes are not struggling at all, far from it.
I could have used the number of new cars on people's drives in my street, or that there is nearly always someone spending money on non-essential home improvements like block-paving driveways.
Instead, I used the story of the woman who spunked a grand on Apple goods for her kids at Christmas, as i felt it best illustrated the point i was trying to make. Sorry if you didn't get it first time around.
