Not sure I believe the banks, who wouldn't believe him when he spoke of future uplands and who in their right mind wouldn't accept a promissory note from him. Bit surprised he's admitted banking with them tbh, kind of shatters his man of the people act

Side note, years ago when I was treasurer of the Christian Union at my uni I received a very generous donation from a student in the form of a Coutts cheque. I was suitably impressed by the bank’s name though at the time I had insufficient life experience to join the dots and realise just how utterly minted this bloke must have been.  . From that day to this, that’s my one single brush with the world of Coutts. |
My only brush was with a customer at Ondigital, I actually asked him if he was a royal and he said only distantly
