A Strange Eavesdropped Conversation

Posted by admin on April 14th, 2011

I’ve stopped at a store while my wife rushes in to make a few purchases. A successful and good-looking man in a DJ leaves the store with some bottles of soft drink, at the same time a man in shorts with a rucksack and wearing a RED Anorak enters the store. The man in DJ is about to climb into his expensive German car when the Red-Anorak man rushes up to him. I assume that DJ man is some kind of celebrity and the other a fan, unashamedly I lower my car window to eavesdrop.

It turns out they know each other but haven’t seen each other since school days, red-anorak man does nearly all the talking he relates that he is now retired but lost Twenty Eight Million Pounds ($40 million dollars) in a bank crash which left him with a mere eight million which had dwindled down to two million trying to recover the lost £32 million. DJ Man said that £2 million was still a lot but red-anorak man said that it only gave him a yearly income of £80,000.

I ‘m pretty sure he was telling the truth!! I’ve had my own financial problems but losing £32 million would have driven me mad!
