My boss
Has been having some work done on his house; new kitchen, bathroom etc. The kitchen tap alone cost £1600 to buy. £1600. For a fucking tap.

Does he have a daughter?
Or, indeed, for someone with that amount of disposable income, a son?

Ace. Give me her name and telephone number, and I'll split the dowry 95/5.

Your Boss is no fool
We saved a fortune on our fitted kitchen. The guy at the shop said - just go for lots of cheap units and lowest spec appliences but get the most expensive tap you can afford, that's all anyone looks at - he was right. Kitchen is twice as big and came in at half the price of the in-laws and we have a much nicer tap.

In-laws think we spent twice as much as them when we actually spent half what they did, just because of the tap.

I bet you like playing with the bosses tap.

I suspect, at that price, it's more likely to be a faucet.

for that kind of money you don't have to faucet

I don't understand things like this.
If you have that amount of money to spend on a tap, then why not pay a local foundry/plumber/artist/whoever to make you a one off? This goes for just about anything that costs two orders of magnitude or more than the norm, including cars, houses, computers and bathrooms.

Yeah, this
If you really want to spend silly money on stuff, make sure you're getting exactly what you want.
