For instance I paid over £400 for a Webley valvespout oil tin earlier this year and some £500 for an original copy of the Book Of The BSA Air Rifle a couple of years ago. Neither have come up again and yes, I paid a fortune but both are very hard to come by items and I get a lot of enjoyment from them. I don't drink anymore so the way I look at it, they cost me a fraction of what I may have spent on entertainment before I gave up!

Quite right John.

Too often we confuse NEED and WANT and it always able to be justified by comparing the cost with some other currency! If you WANT it that's fine and all the justification you need!

Power to your elbow = or maybe not as you don't drink any more! Neither do I actually; well, no more than I ever did!
