The spending of corrupt bankers wife.

Zamira Hajiveva spent £16m over ten years in Harrods while living near the store.

Naturally jewellery came top of the list at £4.9m plus claimed elsewhere there was £30,000 for chocolates.
So besides the inevitable top end bikes orbthree do you think you could match this given this kind of funding?

 

[screenman]

I could, but it would do some good for worse off people.

I totally agree that kind of spending could help many good causes

Feck good causes. I'd spend it on cars, bicycles, motorcycles , luxury holidays, good food, watches, booze. Then I’d squander the rest.

In addition to the properties she bought she was only burning through about £100,000 a week, I think I may be able to do that, tell you what give me a few quid and I'll find out.

If I were running a motorsports team, that would get gobbled up pretty quickly... How quickly depends on the formula though...

 

[Slick]

No.

My brain just wouldn't allow it.

Do Harrods sell bikes?

Do Harrods sell bikes?

“World's most advanced bicycle” on sale at Harrods. Prices start at £22,000..."

No it would be too much like hard work. Time better spent doing something else than shopping. Would be happy donating to charity though and seeing my family OK.

I wouldn't fly to NZ on Korean Air because it's cheapest again, that's for sure.

Was that North Korean Air, Doc?

 

[Seevio]

Like most jobs; It might start off as a challenge but after a while it would become second nature. And has the bonus that you get some really nice bikes.

South Korean. It wasn't too bad on the way out - we had a 90 minute stop at Incheon IIRC.
Coming back, the schedules meant we had 10 hours or so in an airport hotel, which was OK.
The seats were quite uncomfortable, but I think they've got new planes now - we were on a 747-400 IIRC.

At least you got back in one piece. Which is the main thing. I hope they took good care of your Brompton too.


Edit: just so I’m not too off-topic, I’d spend my £4.9m on beer and pies.
