You've got it wrong.
The 50 quid man refers principally to someone who is desperately trying to stay in touch by shopping at HMV and Amazon.com , NOT someone who collects obscure *glances at Woebot* titles from the past. Your ex-raver scours thrift shops and combs eBay for the types of records he's looking for. For him, setting foot in an HMV would be akin to country line-dancing.
yes i know!!!!
thats why i said he was the other kinda person, comparing him to 50 quid man using the words *i am aware of the other kind of person*
the original idea proposed by be.jazz was that we're all getting a bit like 50 quid man.
keep up!
