I think you may have hit it. Probably is a regional thing. Most of these girls weren't from rich families. At least I know for sure my girlfriend's family wasn't. Her father was an accountant in some company and her mother was a housewife. The parents slept on a bed behind a screen in the living room and my girlfriend and her younger sister shared the bedroom. Nice folks and nice comfortable space, but no frills. The parents were ecstatic that their daughter was going steady with 'the doctor's son!'
I'm settling in for an hour of TV with a glass of Bombay Sapphire. I wonder if I would like it as much if they changed the name to Mumbai Sapphire?
