I heard of one who went to Northumberland for a week of shooting, bought a Range Rover, then gave it to the guide at the end of his stay as a tip. Which must have been nice.
I'm full of admiration for self made millionaires, but a part of me wishes I was just born filthy rich and could swan around doing stuff like that.

I know it's the Mail, but what the shuddering fk do the s who write this st want? Rich people buying rich peoples' things, ffs.
On the one hand, it's all "OMG RICH PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY" and on the very same page it's "Same dress, different man: Cheryl recycles dress she wore with Ashley for date with Derek" - oh, the humanity.
Never mind lack of capital punishment, or a work ethic, or immigrants, or any of the other clichés about why Britain is Broken: it's exactly this sort of vapid st that is the reason Britain is broken. An obsession with nothing.

I have a nasty feeling the Triviality sector (red-tops, Daily Wail/Diana Express, Gossip mags/Men's weeklies/ITV2/Big Brother) perform roughly the same function as the Roman gladiator games. Keeps the masses hooked on gory spectacle, thus distracting them from anything really serious that might cause them to ask awkward questions of the government.On the one hand, it's all "OMG RICH PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY" and on the very same page it's "Same dress, different man: Cheryl recycles dress she wore with Ashley for date with Derek" - oh, the humanity.

Surprisingly not that uncommon. A friend of mine knows the owners of a very expensive shoot, the wealthy shooters often give their guns and range rovers etc to the games keeper/beaters/loaders at the end of the weekend.petemurphy said:
if we're paying for these cars via the ridiculous cost of petrol these days its the least they could do to bring them over here for us to look at.
wonder if any are actually into cars and hence wonder if they are on pistonheads! hello lend us a £5 if so
Haha, I suppose if you own an oil company giving out Range Rovers (V8 Auto ones) is probably a shrewd bit marketing.wonder if any are actually into cars and hence wonder if they are on pistonheads! hello lend us a £5 if so
