Would say at 3/4 of a hectare this is a commercial development in the offing.. perhaps several houses or low rise luxury apartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that’s the case. Several Bermudan residents have stated that the land the property is in has been used for walking their dogs for a number of years, and should have village green status. In addition, Tilly Vacher has highlighted that any work JL does will obscure her view of the sea. Lets hope he’s got the skills to sort these issues out.

Coconuts are going to look a bit odd on the home strip but I'm sure Jon the seamstress can make it work. Rather small and quaint for the son of a billionaire.

The Constant Rabbit Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 If it's any consolation, I lived and worked in Bermuda for a year. Total shithole. Only 1 public beach, all the rest are private and a beer was about $25. Worlds biggest open-air prison - nothing to do, nothing to see. 600 miles from the USA and Hurricane central. Mind you, I did see Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is genuinely fit in real life. The citizens are all as miserable as Nahki Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need more board members to counterbalance Ashton’s influence and hold him to account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed@BCFC Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 How many times do you see self made men appoint useless sons into a business. We are not out of the ordinary as SL is being charitable to family - it's a great shame he's put his son as a figurehead of BCFC and not some business where he could do no damage. For so many of us BCFC is part of who we are and it matters. SL you need to have people running the club who are firstly good at what they do, you trust and make you feel proud.

Reading a daily status update from the CEO on what's happening and a phone call once a week to to the CEO to talk over the latest revelations. Think of him as having absolute power and no way of exercising it other than through a quiet word in the ear of MA. The real power comes from having the ability to remove MA and replace him with someone else but this action shines a light on him very brightly so won't be used unless absolutely necessary.

Harry R Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I used to work with Jon at HL when we were both in our early 20s and, for what it's worth, the caricature of him on here is completely unfair. He was a humble and shy bloke who was smart and capable. As a City fan, he had all the same memories as me - someone who started watching the club in the early 90s - and he went home and away, often preferring to sit in the away end than the directors' box. I think the club got it very wrong with Holden, and Jon clearly shares responsibility for that, but the personal stuff and the complete guesswork about who he is and what he's like should be called out for the nonsense that it is.

Yep. Well said. I do cringe at some of the stuff on here about Jon sometimes. While Jon (and Steve) are not above criticism some of the stuff posted is way, way below the belt and unjustified.

Good post. My brother also worked with Jon at HL and gave a similar impression. Jon also helped my brother to get a city shirt signed by the squad.

You'd soon know the difference if you wern't an obvious tourist. Which you obviously were. Locals get turfed from Hotel beaches PDQ Lived in Quarry Rd for a year , worked at the Bank Of Butterfield, which is a bit different to going on holiday. House on the right. The tourists used to come off their rented scooters on the corner of Harrington Sound Rd daily. Much to the locals amusement. Seriously - it was a real dump.
