Sunseeker TV programme - BBC2
Discussion
I think they were dealing with a pain in the backside, from the knowing looks they gave each other when describing him as 'particular'
The kind of guy who says 'Jeez, can nobody take any iniative? Do I have to do everything!?" When they stop the job to ask him.
and then says "Christ, you guys are hopeless, next time you need to check with me first!" when they don't.

You get what you pay for works both ways - looking at the strong vein running across the shower wall if I was Sunseeker I would have never installed it in the first place without the client signing it off.
Hi MatthewAre you commenting on the marble based on any professional experience
or just your personal view?
Paul
And if I was building the boat, why take the risk of putting that slab in? No client is going to complain if the line isn't there.
Although I don't have 20m for a boat, or work in project management at a boat building company, so my opinion isn't exactly worth much.

The Chef on the boat in the Med... ? ?
Yes, that caught my eye. Big Time !
I found it amusing when the Captain was proudly mentioning that they were "girlfriend and boyfriend" and then the chef pointed out that the Captains are usually in a relationship with a crew member, as they hire and fire. In other words, she's with him for the lifestyle and job.Yes, that caught my eye. Big Time !

That's quite a logic leap... Finally watched this last night, I thought it was quite an enjoyable programme but then I do enjoy these wealthy-lifestyle things if they're done properly. Most of the staff they talked to seemed very nice, though I took an unreasonable dislike to some of the staff they showed in the London showroom (perhaps because I'd read the comments on here first, perhaps because of the massive watches that just happened to be visible every time the camera panned round) but on the whole I think the company came across very well. I didn't have a problem with the marble around the sinks, but the veining in the shower just looked like it was all going mouldy, I think I'd never be sure whether it was clean. As if it's ever going to be my problem.

Nothing wrong with marble.Itn fact I thought it was quite nice and I know it's expensive .
The buyer might not like it but that's his personal opinion.
He doesn't have to like it.Its like asking someone what their favourite colour is.
We won't all like the same thing.
They are obviously making enough at the sale price to be able to change finishes.
Would be surprised if their margin wasn't 30-40%

Probably not worded very well.
The Captain makes all the recruitment decisions - who to hire and who to fire. She's making sure she doesn't get let go. I may be wrong but.....
Yes you may be. The Captain makes all the recruitment decisions - who to hire and who to fire. She's making sure she doesn't get let go. I may be wrong but.....
If you really think that the world is full of beautiful women shagging their bosses to keep their jobs then you probably need to start giving the 24 hour pornhub sessions a swerve...

I thought they had agreed to go 50/50 on the cost.
Did I miss something?
Yes. Did I miss something?
Just goes to show that if you give the customer what they ask for, you'll have a much easier life.
