From yesterday’s reporting of the Darwin trial…
“John Darwin, who once boasted to a relative that he would be a millionaire by the age of 50, had unsuccessfully attempted a range of money-making enterprises, from breeding snails to playing the stock market…”
Breeding snails?
Where’s the big money-making opportunity in breeding snails?
There are two possible ways to look at this piece of news.
The obvious one is that this is exactly the sort of big idea one should expect from the man who dealt a fatal blow to his reputation for being dead by voluntarily walking into a police station.
The more interesting one is that there’s something in this snail breeding business, and only JD and now me have the vision to see it.
And he’s out of the market for the next 6 years…
So given the imminent marketing downturn, I think a little revenue stream diversification might be on the cards for DHM.
After all, that’s what Sir Martin always does when economic prospects look grim, and he’s never short of a bob or two, is he?
So prepare yourself.
Next time you visit 14 Newburgh Street it may be looking a whole lot different…
