You positively remind me of Prince Asfa-Wossen Asserate, in the book "People in hotels," Eichhorn Publishing 2006, pages 15 and 16:

"Let's face the gruesome reality: in the Salon of the Ritz, nowadays, there are not only men with naked necks, but also with short trousers. Yes, short trousers. I've tried to understand what motivates people to sit in the Ritz and pay a hefty bill, when the atmosphere they want to experience is of so little value to them, that they will thoughtlessy destroy it again with their appearance. It seems to me, those people relate to a Grand Hotel like to a King's Castle, that they visit: they know that they do not have the slightest in common with the culture here, yet they feel superior, because they think they can buy it. Of course, they are then the gullible ones."

This is my own translation, as part of the original text: NRT - "Not Ritz Type" (in German).
I bet that those with only one outfit, understand only one language.
I love me short trousers, yarr!

I think I produly fall well within the mediocre category of people here. I wonder what upsets people more, the way I dress or the fact that I weigh more than they would want me to.
