Petri

At a family breakfast yesterday morning, The Observer’s Coolbrands Supplement was the focus of much discussion.

To some amusement, bafflement and bit of (honest) embarrassment, P and I found that we own / use / consume 15 of the 20 top [ehem, cool] brands.

The automotive bling notwithstanding, we really must be most shallow –- a Posh & Becks of old Stokie -- as it were..

And anyway, we don’t want a Ferrari. We’re quite happy with our hulking great Land Rover TVM ;-)

Addendum: On second thoughts, many of the below are rather proletarian -- Google, eBay, Amazon.. So maybe we're not so hideously status-obsessed afterall.

The list from 1 to 20
Aston Martin
iPod
YouTube
Bang & Olufsen
Google
Playstation
Apple
Agent Provocateur
Nintendo
Virgin Atlantic
Ferrari
Ducati
eBay
Rolex
Tate Modern
Prada
Lamborghini
Green & Black’s
iTunes
Amazon

We only managed 10. Can't work out whether that's good or bad.
