What will Sir Phillip Green say to the next couple who lose their child and ask if they can borrow his plane?

Question

Probably depends on how much media exposure it gets.

I wonder how he works out the criteria in how people are worthy of his help?

Answer 1

A Jew helping Catholics is also good publicity. He does nothing for nothing. It's a drop in the ocean for the likes of him, equivalent of me like me giving somebody a lift 200 yards up the road.

Answer 2

I think in all fairness he should operate a sliding scale of worthiness, so if you are:

1) A McCann you get a private jet, on board films, free peanuts and a £100 gift token to spend at TopShop

2) A Blair you can have the above, one WMD of your choice and a Cherie-signed copy of Dr Kelly's autopsy, sorry, The Hutton Report

3) A Doctor's Barrister's or Surgeon's child you can have a go in the air-ambulance, as remember, as a neglectful parent YOU are more important than a missing child or a road accident victim.

4) A working class person, well, got any bike clips?

Answer 3

Sir Philip Green has now set a precedent, which won't be easy for him to wriggle out of. If the next family who would like the use of his aircraft are a bunch of drunken chavs, Id love to know what his reaction would be.

Answer 4

See the likeness between both his Kates?
Good mention for Top Shop eh? Lets hope the next mother isnt too fat to fit into their range, like over a size 14 or they will be ignored.

Answer 5

Well, he would lend it out.

But the current borrowers - the mccanns, have seem to of lost it,

they left the keys in the ignition, whilst they dined in the nearest tapas bar - 100km away.

Answer 6

You can borrow my plane after it fetches the Mcanns home from the Cannes film festival.Would that be right?

Answer 7

Green gave them use of his jet and that's admirable but he's an entrepreneur and there is a publicity reward for him

Answer 8

I'm at my wits end. I am planning to fly to different places raising my missing daughters profile. I have been offered a private plane which will help me get around quicker, easier at my own pace etc. Nah! I would much rather use the normal plane flights. Come on guys which would you choose? Be honest!

Answer 9

Its just for borrowing and this is what happens when you cheery pick from amongst the masses?

Answer 10

Ok here is the equation:

The offer of a private plane = Social status of the parents x their wealth x length of time they are prepared to leave them alone.

SO WE HAVE: P = S x W x N where N= neglect

oh

Social Status Values to use in the above equations:
UPPER CLASS = 10
MIDDLE CLASS = 8
WORKING CLASS = 1

Wealth values to use in the above equation:
£100,000 + per year salary = 10
£50,000 - £99,999 per year salary = 8
£20,000 - £49,999 per year salary = 6
Less than £20,000 per year salary = 2

Time values for neglect to use in the above equation:
30 minutes to 2 hours = 10
20 minutes to 29 minutes = 8
10 minutes to 19 minutes = 6
5 minutes to 10 minutes = 4
1 minute to 4 minutes = 2

So for the McCanns we have:
p = 8 x 10 x 10 - YEP they've got the plane!!
