We had Mark Rubin the Pearl King out here recently, his London office is on the next floor to the De Beers diamond people and he is quite a big man, more than a millionaire, made mostly of pearls and pearl shell, he admits to having made £80,000 last year and in appearance he looks like a Jew peddler but he has a head on him, it is the first time I have had the opportunity of sitting at the same table as one of these people, he got outside his tucker in very plebian style.
