Re: Beware of the Champagne brunch...
Planet reality that doesn't believe in sky faeries, church attendances are falling across Europe (and are you surprised). In the UK only 3% (might be less now) took anglican communion at xmas (the most popular time for church attendance).
There was a slight rise in catholic attendance in the last few years but that was due to eastern europeans, and that has since dropped off.

Re: Beware of the Champagne brunch...
well exactly but the articles are not lying or making things up about the lifestyle. perhaps some things get over embellished and phrases such as the playboy mansion are somewhat derisory but I am not crying in to my cornflakes about it. just wondering why some folk get so terribly upset about these articles

Just because there's brunches everywhere doesn't mean it's a total piss up over here.
