Bernie Ecclestone is a very clever chap. Who else could have sold F1 several times, still managed to stay fully in control, then waited until the buyers were a bit strapped for cash and purchased it back again at a knock-down rate. Genius.
His brilliant business acumen wasn't much help recently when he and his girlfriend were mugged by some rather nasty fellows outside his London offices. They weren't exactly gentle with the 80 year-old Mr E, and left him somewhat battered and bruised. His assailants got away with £200,000 worth of jewellery. Yup. My house, my car, all my possessions... Bernie was wearing stuff worth more than that. I don't condone violence, but the phrase "asking for it" does waft through my mind a little...
Ever the entrepreneur, Bernie had himself photographed and sent it off to his watch supplier Hublot, who used it in an advert:
Bernie's not daft is he? I'm guessing he doesn't pay for his timepieces anyway. If any muggers are reading this, mine cost £15 and I got it in Asda. Chuck in my wedding ring and we're probably up to £50 or so. Hardly worth bothering, eh?
(Another day, same Marillion album as last night!)
