Considering it was 1st class, the food was probably pretty good. More power to somebody who figures out how to get a freebie that is meant only for rich people. Isn't that what they say? The more money you have the more people are trying to give you stuff?
Re: White Socks. If we are speaking of athletic socks for women then 99.9% of them are white [the rest are pink]. When I wanted black socks to wear with boots I had to buy men's socks. Also, very hard to find in any color besides white. So, we are not to blame for our lack of sock fashion, we just buy what is available. I learned something about men's socks, they last many times longer than women's do. I still have those black socks and the bottoms are wearing thin but the elastic is still good.
The only people who aren't required to do anything, are the independently wealthy. Hands up, anyone who does not believe that having money makes your life easier?
