Conspicuous ConsumptionHave 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?

I stayed in the hotel in Madrid where the Beckhams once took a suite. I bought a packet of 20 Marlborough from a cigarette machine, for about 3 euro! I bought 4 cans of lager from the local offy for about the same. Oh, yes, I lived the dream!
My colleagues and I were booked in for breakfast, but the room was full of expensive suits and we didn't fancy being the only ones in there in Top Man suits and cheap shoes.
If I were in the same situation today I'd probably wear an old T-shirt to breakfast and charge my bar tab and porn channels to the firm. A missed opportunity, I think.
