I had a Spanish girlfriend at university. Her mum was a doctor, her dad was a teacher, and they had a compact 3 bedroom apartment in Madrid, which they were perfectly happy with. Class aspiration would never allow that in this country, because an Englishman's home is his castle. We are all muppets.
Just making the point that cultural expectations are different. Perhaps anyone that astro turfs their garden should be expropriated, for the benefit of veg growers?
