    bloody hell, my eyesight's getting worse. I read number 6 as 'animal ski trips'

    I was thinking where do people get the money to do that

    I think it's linked in with owning a pedigree dog.

    Is that the skivvy who puts the logs on the fire for you?

    Believe me, I'm my own skivvy.


    Anyway, my summerhouse in the garden not only has its own wood stove - but a flush toilet also.
    Beat that, you lot!

    46 to go, but I'll never eat lobster for a start, or have a dog.

    And I'll never eat the dog or have a lobster.

    Overjoyed to score a massive 0. Unless a dusty set of dumbells under my bed is classed as a home gym.

    6, or 7 if a tent counts as a holiday home.

    I am with you on the dog thing for now but you need to get on the lobster - they're farmed so it's safe, sustainable and sexy.

    Sorry, but if you have an orangery you haven't made anything, you're just a boring old tosspot with an over-inflated ego. It's just a conservatory, nothing more, nothing less. Unless, that is, your orangery is a 500 hectare citrus farm in Portugal; in which case, apologies. I doff my cap to you.
    As for lazy Susans (one of the few things on the list that I can tick) - it's hardly any sort of achievement owning something you can get for a fiver in Ikea, is it?
    Worst though, is the log burner. I think this is disgusting. Me and all my family flush ours away, it's far more hygienic.

    I hadn't realised Henry is a cleaner.

    49 for me. Only being on first name terms with the pub landlord got me.

    Yes,7, we've got a lazy Susan! It's in the cupboard under the stairs and I can't ever remember using it, but we've got one.

    Never having worked and being of private means is, surely, a prerequisite for even looking at such a list?
    There's nothing on their about owning horses or being a member of Guards Polo Club - they've got to be oversights surely.
    And I'm sure most people who have actually really made it would be blissfully unaware of whether they owned a sit-on lawnmower or not as that would be something best left to the estate manager.

    Is one of them 'owning a smartphone big enough to read the list on' as I would fail straight away.

    Another one would be NOT reading the Metro.

    A wet room? Posh? How?!

    Unless 'made it' means 'turned 70 and can't get in and out of the shower anymore'.

    3, by the way. I have cricket whites, am on first names terms with several landlords down our way, and we've got a picnic hamper for going to the beach, parks etc with the little 'uns.

    The Metro online is the biggest pile of shit I've ever read. It makes the Mail online seem cultural.
