Ramsay's profits 'plummet by 87%'

tomterm8

A bit of a nonstory, to be honest... posh resteraunt chains don't do well in recessions, so keeping the business in profit is still much better than many competitors.

Maybe you are the sort of person that likes this, maybe I'm not, maybe I do care. I'm almost certain I've worked in fouler atmospheres than yourself, I'm not scared or bothered by most foul language, but then I also don't like people shouting off in public to get attention to themselves. He wanted to be famous and now he is, for being foul mouthed. Celebrity culture nothing else.

It's the forearms. Pop those in front of your average Middle England, Middle aged feamle....he wins every time.

I think from where he came from - he has done well through lots of very hard work and effort. He has a fantastic family and career and even though its a bit of a circus now, I begrudge him none of it. Look at his heroin addicted thiefing brother for a real tale of dickensean modern britain and how people can turn out without the value of hard work and ambition behind them.

He has done great at what he does, I just don't like him. I'm allowed to not like someone. As I'm allowed my reasons for not liking him.

Yeah, I find him quite annoying, and all that stuff about swearing, adultery, and being weirdly rude to that Australian woman, doesn't do him any favours either.

Still, I can see that he has worked hard to build up his business and it seems a bit unfair to compare him to the likes of Grant Bovey. The trouble is, all these slebs are over-exposed (in the media, I mean, I'm not refering to the gent's toilet allegations http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-305553/Ramsay-feels-heat-indecency-charge.html) and then when they go down you can't help but have a bit of schadenfraunde about it.
