Love it !!!I have a relation who’s somewhere in the 200’s on the rich list but has never bought a car for himself for more than £1000, and buys a lot of his clothes from charity shops.
His father sat next to dad in school and the family were relatively poor back then on a 28 acre holding.
A few years ago he’d got some building works of some sort going on about 30 mike or so from base and had a meeting on site one morning with some consultants. Rather than waste money driving there he jumped in the van with his sparkies and upon arrival spotted the chaps he was to meet dressed in suits sitting in a Range Rover, he went over to speak to them, they looked him up and down and completely ignored him so he went off fir a wander around to see how work was progressing.
Half an hour or so later one of the consultants caught hold of one of the sparkies and asked what time his fekkin boss was llkely to show up.
That’s him over there he replied, I thought you’d spoke to him earlier, apparently the look on their faces was priceless
