    Reminds me of the Violet family in France, that became super rich with their aperitivo Byrrh in the 1930's. Whenever they went to the restaurant, they didn't go with one, but with two enormous luxurious Rolls Royces. Just in case theirs would somehow develop engine trouble... Now isn't that the spirit ?

    • @stephaneaderca7948
      @stephaneaderca7948 Před 21 dnem

      If the Violet family doubted Rolls-Royce's legendary reliability, why one earth did they buy Rolls-Royce? France had plenty of competitors to Rolls-Royce in the 1930's, first among them the Hispano-Suiza, a legendary, technically more advanced car usually selling for more money than an RR.
      Would be interesting to know which Rolls-Royces the Violet owned. Being in France in their 1930's, their RR would presumably have carried coachwork by local coachbuilders, such as Kellner, Binder, Vanvooren or Fernandez & Darrin (rather than HJ Mulliner or Barker that would have been the norm for RR's sold in the UK).

      I used to feel as you but I had an exceedingly rough experience and lost everything I had after the death of my husband of thirty years and subsequently became homeless. I learned that there are very generous people and very selfish individuals in high and low economic spectrums. You should also know that people in both groups will steal from you. Be careful with painting people in broad strokes.

    Still waiting to see why she was really mean. She looked after her money, hence she was loaded. It’s not like she tortured small animals. 🤔

      She tortured her employees and people doing work for her. You should watch the show again.

    I admire her. She was a B---H and did not care what people thought about her. Today, GenZers, Millenials and Gen Alphas care too much about what others think. THAT is sad. I find it pathetic that you put weight on what others think.

      You should read a little more about her. She was a horrible human being.

      Narcissistic personalities find any reason to justify their own behavior.
