supermik Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Aye, well. They were probably happy enough to screw shopkeepers to the wall when the good times were on. You should always be nice to people on the way up, they will still be there on your way down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit ironic as he hated shopping. He did like choosing the tacky Christmas displays though. Pretty sure he wasn’t my real dad anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very good Haiku but well done for trying at least. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Is it similar to the horrific one in Livingston that's advertised as a town centre? Edited March 12, 2020 by Boostin' Kev 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what his salary is but his bonus was £200,000 last year. From what I can gather his job is essentially to go around 4 shopping centres being an annoying wide boy to all the staff. I couldn't tell you what he actually does. It's a mystery how someone can get a bonus like that during an irresistible retail apocalypse. Maybe less of a mystery how Intu is losing so much money. It would have taken me 7+ years to earn that. I think the biggest bonus I ever got was £100.00.

I'm sure he'll fall upward but I'm sure someone could do this job perfectly well with 1/4 of that as a flat salary. Or you could argue it's not a necessary job at all. Probably this. And I'm sure his is not the only one with that sort of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t sound like much has changed. My old man used to describe these moron big bosses that would pitch up now and again and he’d have to take them and their assorted wives and ratty wee dogs out to lunch etc. He had no idea what their job was meant to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 We have 2 big shopping centres in Nottingham, Intu own both, so if they went under we'd be screwed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They also own the big one in Newcastle city centre. It has seen better days (and better shops), to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
