Excellent ad placement at Oxford Circus

Yeah, I'm sure he did. My parents worked insanely hard to get where they are, and it makes me uncomfortable to see them make this kind of high risk investment. Since leaving home, I've never expected anything from them money-wise, and I certainly don't expect to be "rewarded" now for working hard as a kid. It's just not in my personality to have this expectation. I mean, I hated it at the time, having to work so hard, and as an adult it took me a while to relax into a normal work-life balance. I used to work all nighters etc, because it was always drummed into me that hard work is the only way to get ahead. But I didn't want some screwed up Cat's in the Cradle type life, and money is not that big a motivator for me in life. It's a nice gesture from my dad, but I'm really not interested in managing this kind of investment myself, and it's not one I'd choose myself either.
