Ramadan? Nah RamaDONS


Supermalt

Recommended Posts

Outside London’s five-star Dorchester Hotel sits a Bugatti Veyron. These 253 mph supercars are rare enough at the best of times, but this one is unique: known as L’Or Blanc, or White Gold, its exterior is inlaid with porcelain, giving it the appearance of a highly polished humbug.

In terms of conspicuous consumption that takes some beating — £1.6 million for a car that is as delicate as a tea-set.

But for the Saudi owner who has had it flown over to London for the duration of his visit, that is what life is all about. Like the first swallows of summer, the arrival of the world’s rarest supercars in the capital heralds the start of another, lesser known, season — the Ramadan Rush.

‘Arabs love London because of the shopping and the fun,’ she says. ‘They don’t come to do business, they come and use London as a playground as we would Cannes or Monaco.’ One of her clients from Saudi Arabia told her that during a month in London he would expect to spend £100,000.

His daytimes will be spent shopping at Hermès and dining at Scott’s, La Petite Maison, Le Caprice and Nobu, and in the evenings he will frequent the capital’s casinos.

‘He told me that one of his Saudi friends bought a £9 million flat opposite Harrods and then spent £1 million furnishing it,’ said Ms Jones. ‘The trouble was that he couldn’t get any staff to work in it or anyone to come and make him a cup of coffee, so he ended up going to stay in a hotel. He tried bringing maids to London but the minute they get here they disappear.’ Presumably into the black market.

Given the wealth of the owners, it is perhaps unsurprising that little notice is paid to the British rules of the road. Each summer Westminster Council is left with tens of thousands of pounds’ worth of unpaid fines as these visitors abandon their cars on yellow lines.

A list of last year’s most prolific offenders included the Arab owner of a £300,000 Rolls Royce who owed £2,000 for 18 tickets, and a Dubai-registered, £200,000 Lamborghini Murcielago which had racked up 24.

Meanwhile, the owner of a Bugatti Veyron L’Edition Centenaire — registration 444 — failed to pay £120 after he parked on a yellow line outside Selfridges (despite having managed to find £1.2 million to buy the car).

To be fair most rappers give back to their community and do a lot of charity work .

Its the footballers that should be questioned

About maids. They are slaves, thats why they are disappearin

this is not true still

everyone gets employed to do a certain job, and they live well.

gas

obviously it depends on the family, some treat their domestic workers well but with others it's practically slavery.

The employers take their passports and even if they get abused there's no one to complain to, the police won't do sh*t.
