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?

Liquid gold Ozzie styleDue to all sorts of natural disasters in between sunshine - probably due to God trying to smite out the budgie smuggler* epidemic that has remained unchecked in the last 50 years, Australian bananas are now stunningly expensive. AU$13.00 per kg, recent comparison in a newspaper suggested a UK banana remains well under $1 compared with 3 to 4 dollars EACH in Australia.
So, not only do I sit on our balcony looking smug with a curved food item not a croissant, I also let them go a bit black, squidgy and yerghh and then make banana bread for extra ostentatous nyoms. Will be exploring lobster cake next

It fucks me off no end.The kids love bananas and we can't afford them often. Rather than artificially inflate the price (retail is waaay over that of wholesale), why not import some and add a bit on for the banana farmer's losses? Cheap bananas again and the farmers don't go bust.
