I agree money can make people nasty but I have found this is usually people who have recently aquired wealth.
People who have always had it don't feel it is necessary to be nasty to people who don't .
Margo when I was working I did repair work at costumers houses and did work in some of the poorest and riches areas and houses from druggies to Parliament house.
The worst area I ever worked in is called Golden Grove, its a so called must live in and if you dont your a no body.
Never offered a drink, and often "do you need to come inside" that was met with "only if you want your problem fixed "
The poor were generally the most welcoming and generous with offers of cool drinks in summer and hot coffee in winter.
One day I went to a house in an upper class area, I was greeted by the lady of the house and was given the story of how they have been away on a six month cruise and I thought to myself I am going to have trouble here.
well shortly after starting work she came up to me and asked if I would like a cup of tea, I said I would love a coffee if it wasn't too much trouble, she came back about 5 minutes latter and said it was ready but was empty handed. She then invited me inside where her and her husband were having morning tea, she had biscuits and home made cake on a plate just for me.
On another accasion in a very up market area on a very hot day I was invited for a swim in the pool, I declided that offer, but had to apply some sun screen on a young lady before she would sign my paper work.
There are all sorts out there and it was interesting to meet most, the only exception I found was the wantabe rich that thought they were good without actually having any class.
and that is not a dig at you or anyone else
