Ecclestone mugged for £200,000!

[Globalti]

Who wears £200,000 worth of jewellery? Flinkin' blip! I wear a £75 watch and I think even that is extravagant!

£200,000 is probably the sort of money Ecclestone would drop down the back of the sofa.

Sheeesh... I could take more than 5 years off work with that...

I see your £75 watch and raise you the £9.99 watch from the sale at Marks and Sparks that currently ardorns my wrist.

[Actually - I'm wrong... I've just remembered - it was all of £10 excactly!]

Casio quartz, less than £7 from Amazon.

(I have got a couple of posh ones but that's the everyday wear)

In that case he's welcome to come and sit on my sofa (long enough to lose his small change anyway).

Would Bernie describe losing £200k as short changed then?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

It's a very cowardly thing to do though. Bernie may well be enormously wealthy, but he's also 80-odd years old. I bet those making lighthearted comments about small change wouldn't be quite so amused if it was their elderly relatives who'd been mugged.

I don't even wear a watch! Surely I win!

This is only because the equipment you work with would fry it if you did though, I'm guessing!

Secretly, you want to wear one!

Nah. I just got out of the habit. Mind you I do use my phone when I want to know the time, and that is worth about £450....

I was mugged not so long ago, it's ****ing horrible. Poor bloke, especially being the age he is, not a subject to be joked about. He's wealthy, but he's still someone's father. The people who did it (the mugging) should be ashamed of themselves.

My post above notwithstanding, that is quite funny ...

I don't wear a watch. I have my anglo saxon sundial.
