Maybe he thinks a plainer, less attractive girl like Josie is likely to be less money grabbing and more appreciative of him! It is all beginning to make more sense!

I do see your point and agree with it, but my guess is that most people only dream of this wealth and in many cases never come across someone with such wealth.

I think the general interest is in how much and where did he get it from. Whether that's rude or not, I don't think they realise this.

Talk turned to John James's bank account this evening, as Mario gave David a massage in the bedroom.

The minister kicked off the conversation, asking the former mole if he's aware how much money John James has in the bank. "He's a seven figure man!" David told him, saying that his mum is rich and some of the money has trickled down to him.

Overhearing the chat, Josie was keen to learn more. "Are you a millionaire?" she asked the Australian. "I thought you just had £100,000! How can you be a millionaire? There's no way you could be a millionaire, you haven't done anything."

He queried: "Millionaire in what? Assets? Or cash?" explaining that in terms of assets he is indeed a millionaire.

"My ex was a millionaire, then," said Josie. "You don't seem really, really wealthy anyway. Apart from all your nice clothes. But I just thought you were an idiot with money."

She still didn't appear to believe him, however. "But... you're just comfortable, aren't you?" she probed. "Yes," he replied. "But I don't work, do I? I've been to London three times. My car was £87,000. Work it out."

"Have I just hit the jackpot?" laughed the 25-year-old, who began fishing for more information. "Why is it important?" asked John James.

"Because I want to know. You ask me things about myself," she replied, as he tried to change the subject by asking what day it is.

"When I was saying buy me a scooter and a car, I was only joking, mind," Josie told him. "I know," he replied, as she added: "Then again, if you want to..."

Putting the topic to rest once and for all, he asked: "Why am I wearing a **** dress?" before making a move to get out of bed.

If JJ wins and doesn't need the money, will he donate £30,000 to buy Steve a new leg, seeing as how he banged on about how much he respected him, yada yada yada? Was he one of the ones who Shabby said had agreed to this? Even if not, he wouldn't miss a few grand now, would he?:wink:

Although its the kind of thing I'd ask about! Me being very vulgar.
