[News] Simon Jordan robbed of 100k watch at gunpoint today.

What is the justification for owning a £60 watch, when you can buy one for £10 that will tell the time perfectly?

May not last as long. Would a £10 one still be working .20 years on. It was a Christmas present as I wouldnt have paid that amount then.

Where's the 'Anyone want to buy a watch thread?

What’s the justification in owning a watch at all when you can make a sundial from driftwood and seaweed?

I thought Steve Parish was Prince Charming?

He is, but this was Prince Charmless

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

It shouldn’t happen to anyone.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I cannot think of any justification of wearing a watch valued at £100k other than to show off your wealth.

And you can buy a Dualit toaster if this is your aim.

He's the other ugly sister at the palace!

What's the justification in sourcing driftwood and seaweed when you can just abandon the concept of time?

Would only have been funny if the robbers’ moped had smashed into a brick wall harming no one but themselves

 

[Mr Putdown]

Lighten up for feks sake... yes it was a terrible offence, fortunately no one was hurt, but it is still deeply ironic! A robber robbed...

He was the biggest creditor when palace went into administration, yet still agreed to the CVA despite knowing it would cost him millions.

Blokes an utter ****, but he wasn’t the robber.

Should be more careful in a 3rd world capital city .

 

[wigman]

No laughing matter having a gun pointed at you in front of your elderly father whilst taking him to the doctors.
Tangoman is a bit of a prick, but this is over the top.
I hope they find and punish the culprit, there is way too much of this moped crime going on in our capital city.

 

[GT49er]

Who the hell needs a £100K watch anyway? Damn silly thing to want to own. At least he won't have to worry about losing it any more.......................

 

[Stat Brother]

What does a £100k watch say, other than rob me.

It probably says:-

'I've spent the tiniest fraction of 1% of my wealth on a watch'.

 

[METALMICKY]

Whilst in no way condoning the crime this type of offence has been on the increase so to openly wear such a valuable watch is tempting fate.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I am old I know but I cannot think of any justification of wearing a watch valued at £100k other than to show off your wealth. A £60 Seiko tells the same time and I have had mine for about 20 years.

At least you know where it is.

 

[Two Professors]

Perhaps it's time for the Met to try something revolutionary,like policing the streets or stop and search.

 

[Grombleton]

Deep...

I'm waiting for [MENTION=34997]Your Mum[/MENTION] on this...
