Jeremy Clarkson suspended by BBC...
Discussion
I've got a spare ticket going for the Sunday 29th Clarkson, Hammond and May show at the O2. It's for the 4pm show and is in block 102. Which is a very good viewing position.
I'm asking face value of £90 and the ticket will be sent by registered mail. First person to PM me through here gets it.

Am I the only one thinking that is an absolute bargain! Shall 10 of us get together and buy it.......
I stayed there last summer. It's a nice hotel in an outstanding location.A million quid doesn't seem like all that much money for what is a fair sized place and a business.
I wonder how profitable it is, though, and whether they're selling as a going concern or just the bricks and mortar.

Although it only mentions turnover (c.£770k) and not profit. What sort of margin do these types of businesses run at?£995,000 for the freehold property complete with goodwill and trade contents (according to inventory), excluding personal items. Stock at valuation.

We've stayed there, lovely hotel, but its been on and off the market for 3 or 4 years now.

Looks like it has been settled out of court between JC and Oisin Tymon

So £100k of which no doubt half to a third would be OTs legal fees. Looks like it has been settled out of court between JC and Oisin Tymon
Was it really worth it for OT? He could have gone off piste instead and had leverage over JC instead lost his own job as TG ceased and was front line news for weeks.
Sure a t
t punched him but he's have known some £ in some form or another would come his way. Principled maybe but what was the smarter option?Welshbeef said:

They don't actually say that it settled at £100k, just that the claim has been settled - it could eg have settled at less, but with the public apology as a term of the deal. Regardless of the figure, I suspect part of the deal will be that Jeremy Clarkson pays Oison Tymon's legal costs.Was it really worth it for OT?

If I remember it right, Clarkson alerted the BBC himself. I think once that ball started rolling, there was no stopping it. Was it really worth it for OT? He could have gone off piste instead and had leverage over JC instead lost his own job as TG ceased and was front line news for weeks.
Sure a t
t punched him but he's have known some £ in some form or another would come his way. Principled maybe but what was the smarter option?As for the legal fees, it could be entirely possible that Tymon was a member of a union which would have paid his legal costs, and the full £100k would be going to him. For the amount of abuse that went his way after it all kicked off, I don't think that is unreasonable.

What "leverage"? His only "leverage" as far as I can see was legal action, which he's done. I'm not sure what other options he had which would have given him a better outcome.Was it really worth it for OT?

The potential legal action so let's say he swept it under the carpet in return for maybe higher involvement in certain things which I've no doubt JC could have used his influence. Still £100k isn't a lot given it truly went viral and without question he will always be known for it.
