Need a Batcave? Company of fixers for super-rich ready to oblige

There must be limits on how often you can use the service in a given year and hidden costs, even at £24k a year. Those Russian billionaires would have you on speed dial ffs.

I doubt it, there are probably additional fees on top. Also if you are rich enough to fund £24 000 a year fees you are not going to worry about additional fees.

I don't know, 2K a month per customer to have somebody do a bit of googling? Of course, they are paying for your knowledge to find the right people, especially if we are talking about exclusive restaurants etc.

She says the key selling point of the service is the links her team build with the maitre d's at top restaurants, theatre managers, ticket agents (both official and black market) and even the admissions officers at top private schools


This is what they are really paying for

That I'm expecting both good and bad things in the post and that it's all liable to arrive at once, taking the sheen off the good things :(

The Beeb needs to sort out it's news presenters - Kate Silverton and Fiona Bruce keep trying to act but are more often made to look foolish by the autocue. The blokes look like they'd rather be anywhere else.

I can hear things cracking and crashing outside as this powerful wind blasts us. I really don't want to go and look.
