In the 1960s I came across a person who was a property developer, a magistrate and a former chairman of an urban district council. He lived in an expensive house and drove an expensive car.
Fast forward ten years and I bumped into the same person in a pub. His property company had failed, he had been declared bankrupt, his wife had left him and he was living a life which today is described as sofa-surfing. He was drinking to excess and a few months later he died of multiple organ failure.
