Someone quoted "what the man in the street can do ".
Well I've noticed that he shares this with Mike O Leary - in that they both run round in rugger jerseys and pretend that they are normal ordinary guys who have "made good".
The truth in both cases is somewhat different.

Both are of very rich parents and public school educated . Both priviledged individuals had an enormous head start in life. ( I have nothing against public school guys - but don't think that they should try to pretend they are something else like these two do!).

Just think what kind of business risks you could have taken as a young man if you knew "mummy and daddy " would bail you out if it went tits up?
