I'm sure you can find the model from the picture and find out! :)

I don't understand the materialistic thing.
With a little patience, even those on benefits can afford these things 
without stealing, dealing drugs, shooting each other or, rioting.

I guess it's more about the perception of time advertising and the 
(fake) pressure of government education and literature that attempts to 
brainwash us all into a frenzy of, as the Queen song says:

"I want it all, and I want it now"

I'm happy to wait a few months to be able to afford something other than 
food or drink. Still not employed (that's about a decade) but can afford 
nearly everything I want! I have more stuff than I have space for 
(tools, bikes, gear) yet I'm still supposed to buy more?!
Actually, I need some more tools ;)

Maybe I'm odd, or stubborn?
