Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

When my fifth birthday rolled around, we were living in Hong Kong. I don't know to this day how Mum and Dad managed it, but my birthday dinner was in the Mandarin Hotel www.mandarinoriental.com/hongkong/.
We had a table right on the edge of the floor, but that early in the evening the place was nearly deserted. I got to see a full-on Chinese Circus, had a ham sandwich presented on a silver salver by the maƮtre d', had my orange squash topped up by what I now know was the sommelier, and to top the whole evening off was taken by taxi all the way round the harbour to see the lights (which even in the mid-sixties knocked Blackpool into a cocked hat).
Fuck know how it was done on Dad's RAF salary.
