"five alleged shoplifting episodes in just 16 days, reports The Sun."

Five. Blimey are things that bad?

makes no sense whatsoever

Why is he doing his own shopping? Has his career gone downhill?

One assumes he finds his money going so much further when he does the 'shopping'..

Austerity Worral Thompson.





He has had to close several (four?) of his restaurants over the last few years.

What was the value of the items stolen? £5,99?, £9,99? This makes no sense! Was this worth it to be in the press - which i'm sure he knew it would be!

People get a kick out if shoplifting, it doesn't have to be of necessity. I'm guessing it got his fat little heart pumping.

[Rollcage]

Sense of entitlement - much of the problem in the UK today.

Dont know the guy but I wonder if he tried the 'Do you know who I am' technique?

..and how tempting (and accurate) would it be to reply "dunno...a thieving, fat, ginger midget?"

The police say they arrested a man from High Wycombe, but he lives in Shiplake (about 5 minutes from that Tesco's)

Everyone, no matter how rich, loves something for nothing.

Idiot!

He sold his house in Shiplake and moved to HW.

the daily wail has said that he was using the self serve machines and not scanning wine and cheese then walking out with it..

I randomly saw him on a night out in Hong Kong in 2007. Had a brief chat with him, although i don't remember much - i was smashed at the time! He was wearing some ridiculous white tunic thing though.

Was it a chefs jacket?

I think that would be more like a ridiculous white jacket thing.
