Or maybe he just made the sort of noises which, although they suggested that there may have been a business man in there, when the waffle was stripped away, amounted to very little. Was this backed up by him being missing when work was required of him?

Apparently at the AGM he always had facts and figures at his fingertips,which suggested he had put some effort in to learn the ropes. Wasn't he also working in the Frog and Beans after putting hours in at the White House? I still think he would have been better managing a wine bar in the West End and maybe even Sheila could have put in the odd hour,but the only offer she got from June was working in an antiques shop out in the styx.

Yes Steve. I rather imagine that to Sheila, after living in London, working in an antique shop out in the sticks, would have felt very much like being out in the Styx

So he could drink and piss all the bar profits away?  People like him would be out of business in no time for giving away free booze to impress and driving real customers away as he and his pals partied hardy. People like that end up with dives that lose money...

Most bars fail because people who know nothing about the business but like going to bars decide they want to own one.  People from all walks of life from teachers to musicians think it would be so great having  a bar yet have neither the knowledge/skill nor managing attributes needed to truly be successful.

A chap like Jeremy would have had his eye to business had he had the chance. Don't forget,he liked money and nothing would have given him greater pleasure than to see it rolling in as opposed to rolling out again.
He'd have aimed for a millionaire status at the farm,a far easier position and prospect to have worked to back then than now. His father probably put him in the picture when he was discussing Jeremy's involvement with the farm. Pity that " piece of land " hadn't been discussed too,then Jeremy and all might have had an even clearer picture !

I'm glad you say so,better that way instead of wearing blinkers.

But I've looked at it from every direction, Lookout. I've walked all the way round it, which isn't something one can do when, like yours, one's feet are stuck in the mud..................or WORSE

Obviously not from EVERY direction. My feet are very firmly on the ground,thankyou.

And Jeremy's still behind bars.....................you're welcome

Of course he had 'his eye to business' the business of murdering the family. Glad you're now admitting that he liked money and that NOTHING gave him greater pleasure than seeing it rolling his way!! And clearly it would have been easier then than now because now he's locked up. Nevill certainly put him in the picture - "knuckle down or no inheritance". They all had a pretty clear picture - Jeremy was guilty!!

what a bloody insult to all those that own bars who have worked there socks off and diversified into making small bar restaurants work for communities and the like.

I think he was just pointing out that whatever Jeremy had turned his hand to would have been likely to have come to nought because whilst he enjoyed spending money he had no propensity to apply himself to working for it.
