: Chuck NewtonBritish Snobbery?
By Chuck Newton
Either I do not get it, or rich Brits do not get it. I have always found something profoundly humorous even in their serious efforts. Reality is not one of their strong points.
Now this is rich. Literally. According to the Daily Mail, Prince Charles has converted his Aston Martin to run on English wine.
It was a little reminiscent to me years ago when I learned that Sir Paul McCartney filled his tub with Perrier bottled water to take a bath.
I guess it might be possible for wine-powered engines to help reduce the carbon footprint, but a gallon of wine is going to cost more than the price of gas. Worse, if this caught on, a bottle of wine at the store would greatly increase due to competition for fuel.
With all of that fame and wealth, you would really thing the Royal Family could do something more productive and, well, not so silly.
I can see the gas stations now. Instead of regular unleaded, premium, and super premium, the station will offer red, white and blush. And, there will be some snob at the station yelling, " WE ARE NOT FILLING UP WITH MERLOT!!"
