*Quote: I**n what world is £511 not that important?*
*Educated Answer:* A Casino, Ascot Races, the Boat Show London, the
Newmarket and Keeneland Race Horse Sales, The horse trainers and Jockeys
room Epsom on Derby Day, Sotheby's or Christie's Auctions House salerooms,
Harrods tea room, Chanel or Helana Rubinstein Showrooms, the film cutting
floor of any of the six big Hollywood Film Studios, USA, any high street
garage when you require an MOT, or an HGV truck fuel tank filled. Paying
the weekly wages of a shelf-stacker in a supermarket, purchasing vehicle
insurance, or paying the one-week hotel accommodation bills for a boatload
of smiling illegal immigrants who've just arrived from Calais - multiply x
2 million. £500 will not buy you a toilet seat for a Boeing Jet, or pay to
have a new headlamp fitted on your car.
*The next question is how important is £10 000?* This sum will not buy you
a funeral in London, hence the popularity of cremations. *Suggested reading*:
Books on Leona Helmsley, Randolph Wm Hearst, or Howard Hughes, best of all
a book on *Edgar Bronfman* of Seagram, Canada, who is famous for “a string
of increasingly bizarre deals” which lost the Bronfman family about $3
billion during the time that Bronfman, Jr. was in charge of Seagram’s.
