Poshest Customers and Those With Money

[baggieal]

Any tradesman will tell you - working in a house with wealthy owners - they are the most meanest f uckers going and you are lucky to get a cup of tea. The most miserable too and they have money and lots of it!!!

With our business we have celebs and very very rich people - one who just ordered has a property in London in Kensington worth 60 million and an LA property worth 45 million - her father has billions. She's the most rudest bitch you could ever speak to - no please or thank you and just demands. Three of our famous celebs we included a freebie worth RRP £30 and did not even get a thank you! We also have ( thank goodness ) lots of customers from poor working class areas who buy the products even leaving an initial deposit whilst saving up the money and once they receive their item - we get a big fantastic thank you and these customers are so genuine.

So for all the money in the world - if your not happy - you can't say please or thank you - what's the point!

Know a guy last weekend in the town who is loaded and very mean - he was 54 - fit as a butchers dog - didn't drink or smoke - no underlying illness and he dropped dead with a heart attack. What was the point of him having that money? None!

Life is for living and to be happy and if my kids don't say please and thank you - they get nowt!

I know a bloke who used to have a property maintenance business, he did a lot of work for us, and he told us of a number of instances of real meanness. One case he told us about was after he had completed a job for some reasonably well off people, when they paid the invoice, I can’t remember how much it was for (in the thousands), the people deducted about £30 in respect of the cups of tea that they had been given! Unbelievable.

I had some roof repairs done last week over a few days and he had the brass neck to ask me for a cup of tea and I simply told him to bring his own flask of tea next time.

This is a true story about Dave Whelan who owned JJB Sports and Wigan Athletic.

Every few weeks he’d do a grand tour of his warehouses in Wigan and on one visit he spotted a t e e n age warehouse lad on minimum wage who was walking around in shoes that were falling apart, the upper had separated from the sole.

Whelan reached into his pocket and pulled out this huge roll of cash neatly rolled with a big elastic band.

The young lads eyes were like saucers and his face lit up.

Whelan looked at him, threw him the elastic band and said,

“Use that.......get yourself a new pair on payday and if I see you in those again you’re f u c k I n g sacked!”

Vile, horrible w a n k e r is Whelan.

When they did the TV documentary on him about ten years ago they asked him about his Downs Syndrome son and his late son in law Duncan Sharp, Duncan had committed suicide by hanging after crumbling to the pressure of being forced ( allegedly) to lie when reporting figures to the city.

Whelan was asked if he’d swop his sons condition and Duncan’s death for good health and not be a wealthy man to which he replied.......”my business is very important to me”.

I sat in the buying office literally feet from Whelan’s office and the way he spoke to even his senior staff was absolutely disgusting.

The bloke if human effluent.

At my business and my home the first thing we do is offer drinks to anyone visiting to do anything and I often end up as tea boy.

I started out as a petrol pump attendant and working in the stores at a garage 43 years ago and I was the tea boy as well.

Some people forget their humble roots......I don’t.

I was the lowest of the low on the totem pole on the 3rd of July 1978 and on the lowest I could legally be paid ( £15.60 after stoppages and mum took £5.50 in housekeeping each week )

This is a reason I don’t pay anyone minimum wage.

I have no time for the lines of Bernie Ecclestone’s lazy, fat a r s e d daughters who’ve never done a days work in their lives.

I’d tax people like them to the f u c k I n g hilt.

Very true. My experience (nowhere in your league Al when it comes to the figures you present) has been the same. Poor people are generally appreciative, thankful and happy to show it whereas people who are very comfortable can act as if you don’t exist, and are worth nothing to them.
