Cliff Clavin Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Just watching the news tonight and they are sensationlising again, they say Ratner claimed his jewelery was "crap!" Well he didn't he made a joke that his jewelery "Was Crap!" Well in my oppinon Jewellery in general is crap and like the desert people say "water is more valluable than any gold!!!"

wendygs Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 As it happens I thought Ratner made some such statement in an after dinner speech but again, I'm also not sure what point you're trying to make. Personally I think jewellery can be very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Gerald Ratner was giving a speech at the institute of directors when he said "We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, 'How can you sell this for such a low price?' I say, 'because it's total crap.'" As a result, he was sacked, Ratners suffered huge losses, and in the end changed their name to Signet.

Macca Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 He (Ratner) wants to buy the company back, just so you know what I think Cliff is getting at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultana Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yes, this was rather a long time ago, but I have to say I got my engagement ring from Ratners 30 years ago, and I have never seen one I like beter & it has never got damaged in any way. Not bad for cra p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
