Sir Richard Branson mouths off over being forced to wear a tie

 

You’d imagine being a billionaire would mean never having to do something you really don’t want to do. If you don’t want to eat your greens, consider them gone. If you really dislike pairing socks, there’s someone else can do that for you. 

 

But it seems the UK’s favourite billionaire Sir Richard Branson has had to capitulate on one of his life-rules this week – wearing ties. 

 

“As my bio says, I loathe ties, and encourage everyone to say bye to them at every opportunity. I often carry scissors, just in case an opportunity arises to cut off somebody’s tie,” he writes in his blog. 

 

“Wimbledon is a place renowned for its traditions, and one of these is that ties must be worn in the Royal Box. Last time I went to Wimbledon I took my mum and was caught out by the ridiculous tie rule. I had to borrow one at the last minute or they wouldn’t let me in.”

 

 

“I’ll be watching the rest of the tournament (tie-free!) back on Necker,” he added. 

 

As for who Sir Richard is rooting for now Murray is out – the entrepreneur is going for Djokovic.
