Default Just found out one of my new bosses did the Gumball....*VID*

In his gorgeous Porsche with the £25k private plate, which is actually parked outside today.

Apparently he's a twat tho

£25k ??? really ??? cough *bullshit* cough

Lovely car though Rare things the Turbo S.... mostly because they were very expensive and a run out special so you were clearly going to get it in the arse when it came to residuals!

His name's Mark Cotton. Very cool plate. He has a few cars too, apparently. Has a nice Merc but not sure which model as I haven't seen it yet.

Chip, not the IT boss, the guy at the top. He won't be checking that out so no worries

I haven't met him yet tho so can't comment personally.

its only worth what folk are willing to pay for it, so if he wanted it that bad and the seller knew this then yes i would say he may have payed 25k for it imo.

My firm does bed linnen for all the big stores and makes mattresses for people like Silent Night etc.

Smells like a farm down in the factory where all the lamb's wool is used.

Kinda funny watching the same stuff go into both budget and premium brand wrapping.

I was thinking totally the same thing. Then he posted his number plate too.

I can just see it now

Yep that's the place Gracie. I'm in the IT team doing Network Support/Admin.

Anyways I never said the bloke was a twat, I already said I don't know him, fools

Somebody else made it out that way. And his plate is displayed on one of the sites his car is on so doubt that's an issue. I'm not bloody stupid people

Anyways, the poor bastards are those that work in the warehouses and factories.... Had a couple of tours through there and if it's not the loonies in the fork trucks getting you it's the bloody dust and shite in the air, coupled with the heat from the ovens.

Tell you what though, working round those ovens all day would do wonders for my figure
