Whatho stoke old chap
When you go and see Mr Branson - please tell him I only want 100k
Seriously though , have a read of this - not bad for a lad who had '' ... a poor acedemic performance ... ' - and started out growing christmas trees and raising budgerigars -- hey what ?

Just quickly picking out a few interesting things -
- 360 companies
- Donating the profits of Virgin atlantic and Virgin trains
( apoprox 3 Billion ) , into research for enviromentally friendly fuels - ( doesn't that make the pain of the cost of the ticket more bearable ? )
- Virgin earth challenge
- How the name ' Virgin ' was chosen
Dont you think he should get a proper job ?
