I have nothing against the man or anyone like him but it is worth
remembering that for all the multimillionaires with holiday home on
such paradise isalnds, the VSO was still active in the Caribbean until
fairly recently.

One half of the island brimming with gin palaces and the other sans
schools and hospitals. I wonder what the millionaires did to get
houses where the natives can just about afford mud huts if everyone
else pitches in.

I wonder what other Virgin enterprises have been set up with total
disregard to basic building guidelines. Or did he think his lightning
conductor was an analogue ariel and have it replaced with fibre optic
glass?
