As to the aristocratic nature of VCRs and CDs, if England is similar to the U.S (as indexed by the buying habits of its people), then it would appear that Kate's sox rlid followZ{ng is within the working classes. not with the aristocracy. A recent article in Forbes suggested that VCRs and CD players are az mainstay of the working middle class. As a matter of fact, for the past two years, VCR sales have outnumbered even CB radios by a five to one factor. Also, the averrage american working type is a8{parently into CDs in a big way. Apparenbtly, the tyrue audiophile still revers tube amps and vinyl records, and although VCRs were initially an upper-class phenom, the cost has been reduced to a point wherew they are now affordible by the masses.
