Rude.

[Patsy33]

My daughter in- law's sister works in a London hotel and had the ( cough).. pleasure of meeting Duncan Bannatyne and his family. The dining area was full but he insisted he wanted a table Now! Girl politely explained they were full and would have to wait. He still insisted on having a table, in fact he pointed to a table where a family were still eating and said he wanted that one! The girl again politely told him, yes, he could have that table when people had finished eating. Anyway, must have waited and eventually sat down to eat. When finished, the same girl asked the daughter how her burger was, and she gave a contemptuous look and turned her head without saying anything. What a delightful family :-(

The richer they are, the less manners they have!!

I'm out

[dannyk13]

That is not strictly true Sharon, I have met a few very, very rich people and them unassuming and cordial.

[dannyk13]

and ^found^ them

[hereIam]

Rich morons by the sound of it !

[Jackdaw33]

I've never heard of him. Who's he?

[Mamyalynne]

There are rude people and polite people in all society.

Will this be in the press tomorrow? They do trawl forums for good stories.

It doesn't cost anything to be pleasant - some people rich or poor are just rude .
I suspect that she was not pleased that the couple was not turfed out straight away

[New Judge]

Quite so. I have had the pleasure of spending a bit of time with the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire (current custodians of Chatsworth House). I imagine that they have a few more bob stashed away that Mr Bannatyne (though I could not be sure since I don’t know who he is). But of one thing I am sure – the Duke and his wife were civility and politeness personified. I could not imagine them treating their own staff in such a way, let alone anybody else’s. Having money affects people in different ways. If you’re rough to start with accumulating a bit of folding will probably make you rougher – as seems to have been demonstrated here.

[Zacs-Master]

So you don't know who he is but you know he's 'rough'?

[Mamyalynne]

Hee hee.

[Patsy33]

I just feel disappointed I suppose. I thought he'd be different to that. When some people got money they think they can treat people how they like. You can imagine what my daughter in- law's young sister was thinking...... Oh how she would've liked to have said it!

[Arksided]

Some people are Rude no matter of their humble beginnings I know a few millionaires that started from scratch and are still polite to those all around and respectful of those doing a service for others.

[Patsy33]

Shame he doesn't remember his! Not all the same Arksided, like you said..

[mallyh]

well done to the girl for remaining civil I don't think I would have done ,I hate ignorant people

[anneasquith]

I doubt the hotel will be very happy at staff discussing guests which end up in social media .

[Mamyalynne]

Mally when you work in the service sector or indeed with the public full stop you spend days biting your lip - otherwise you'd never keep a position.

[Barmaid]

I have a hole in my lip from permanantly biting it..........

[-SharonA-]

Don't know which daughter it was, but they're all old enough to have manners.
