I have received an email which is worded thus:
>Cook book = £20
>Ingredients = £10
>Getting sacked for "accidentally" releasing the book to the entire
>planet before it even hits the shelves = PRICELESS!
>
>It seems that someone at Jamie Oliver's publishing company sent a word
>document version of his 2nd book to one of their mates. Unfortunately
>for the poor sap who sent the word document, it is now flying around
>the web at a rate of knots..so print what you like AND please spare a
>thought for the poor bugger that originally sent it, while enjoying the
>food you make from the recipes!!!
>
>The deal of the day - Jamie Oliver's latest cook book.
>RRP £20 at most participating book stores.
>Yours for nothing!
>
>Enjoy & pass it on.
Attached to it was indeed a Word document of his new book. It looked good.
This irritates me. I hate people with a "something for nothing" attitude. I was always bought up with "If you want something, you have to work for it". Why is it good that this email will take away some of his earnings? Fair enough, he's a rich man, but he has worked hard and done some very good things. Why is it people in this country seem to resent people who are successful, when they should be pleased for them?
