Ah - we're starting to get philosophiocal now.NT said:But how is the person to judge quality?
Are there any absolute indications of what is, or is not, of high quality?
Here's a true story:-
When I was a lad, I had a holiday job in a greengrocer's shop. He sold two types of tomatoes - one lot were 1/6d a pound and the others were 1/9d a pound. The 1/9d always sold better.
One day we ran out of 1/9d tomatoes, and I asked him what to do about it. "Just put some of the 1/6d ones into that bin", he said.
I asked him how that could work - wouldn't people feel cheated?
"I'll tell you, lad", he whispered. "They're all the same tomatoes. It's just that people think the 1/9d ones are better, so they prefer to buy those ones."
So there you are - an absolute criterion by which to judge quality. The more expensive it is, the better it is.
Isn't it? :?
Quite right Penners
We are all stuck in a vicious circle when it comes down to obtaining or distinguishing quality
Presented with one choise, only the best quality is available
Presented with multiple choise , in most cases, we are cornered into such a confusion that we end up in failing to distinguish the difference between our ar*e's from our elbows and end up with the same cr*p we thought we didn't want in the first place.
Quality only manifestes itself in the eyes of the beholder or in the state of our minds.

By 'eck, Middi! We're getting a bit deep, you and me!
By the way, I'm not ashamed to say that I have never had any trouble distinguishing my @rse from my elbow. There's far too much flesh on the former for it ever to be confused with the latter.
