A Game of Jones

[MOBIUS]

There's a saying here in the UK which I think is pretty universal in the English speaking world, which is: "Keeping up with the Joneses"

It's a sort of ritual of consumption that neighbours play with each other to have the latest car or fashions etc and basically try to out do each other to show who's most successful.

It always makes me chuckle that for some reason, we're all having to keep up with some random Welsh family...

If we were just trying to compete with a Welsh family, I'd only need to park a wheelbarrow on my drive and I'd have surpassed the Jones's by some considerable margin
