    Although if Tescos didnt sell Heinz would you pop to the Heinz shop next door for your favorite beans?

    Ok, lets not call it Heinz as I like Heinz ;) Lets call SJP "Happy Shopper". You cannot buy Happy Shopper in Tesco so its a better comparison. ;)

    Not sure Happy Shopper has business growth to put all its competition to shame.....but i see your point. ;)

    A better example may be SJP are patek philip....not a watch sold at your local Argos but as long as your happy with your Seconda ;)

    It's amazing how many people are taken in by this pinstriped Rolex BMW "wealth management" cr*p. :rolleyes:

    Sad really.

    Really rich people wouldn't touch groups like SJP with a barge pole.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    I'm in a pinstripe suit (very fine pinstripe though), but I drive a Toyota Corolla (very MSE!). Is there some kind of correlation here?

    As the function of a watch is to tell the time, I think that any sensible person would go for the Sekonda and keep the other £5000 - ££30000 in the bank. Snobbery gets very expensive...SJP looks good but I am not convinced that the performance of their funds justifies the price.

    You cannot fault SJP on presentation of material. Highly glossy, very slick. If it was an award on quality presentation, they would do very well. However, see earlier comments about fur coat, no knickers ;)
