Northing like an entirely random and unprovoked personal attack to drag a thread down into the shit. Feel good?

I don't think it is you know - all those listing are repeating events that were there when everything was totally locked down.
I've been asking around but I fear it's still closed, which is bloody sad.

ah ok, thanks for clarifying, sad to hear this, it wasnt a regular haunt of mine but I liked the place and the people who ran it.

I’m not denying he’s minted but do you reckon these stat sites are accurate, I mean how do they calculate the figures
his house/ houses are probably worth a fair bit on their own

He's lived in his house in Poet's Corner for the best part of 30 years, at which time it wasn't a particularly sought after area. Those properties are indeed now worth more than a million.

I don't think they're particularly accurate at all but I would be very surprised if Rayner isn't fucking loaded given his family background, his posh schools, connections and his high profile media work and career. He's certainly far, far richer than many people in his neighbourhood.

fair enough, i was only asking about the stats site tho’ and started the post you replied to by saying he was most likely minted...

He still needs to put pen to paper, like an artist puts paint to a canvas, like a singer strikes a cord. It's an occupation like all others that is rewarded for the output.

Jay (Jason Matthew) Rayner - 14th September 1966
Went to the same school as Matt Lucas and Sacha Baron Cohen - Haberdasher Aske's
Then Leeds University did politics, Edited the Gryphon Student Newspaper
Doing a bit of ferretting it appears he bought his house on Shakespeare Road April 1998 so will just be getting towards the end of his mortgage. Looking at Rightmove sold prices nye on doubled over 10 years, no reason to think they would have doubled again in the subsequent 10 to 12 years. So to put a capital value on the roof over his family say as much as £1.3 mil. From the google view it looks like they have spent money on it, roof lights evident sugessting a reconfiguration, so may be remortgaged. His Limited company shows little liquidity circa £50,000.
Nothing to indicate Claire and Desmond left fortunes to him or his older brother and sister.
Married in 1992 Jay's wife works as an editor specialising in education currently senior at UCL Press, probably well paid, she sometimes sings when Jay plays with his Jazz quartet, she doesn't have any other current Company House presence apart from as a director of his self named company.
If that projection of £1.9 mil is based on anything it's possible they may have holiday property somewhere, but I can't see any trace...
It looks like they are a hardworking middle class couple with a son Eddie, according to a piece in Esquire they jointly wrote, they went through difficult fertility treatment to conceive.
They are mid fifties and have earned through their lives. Not particularly loaded but not uncomfortable, and it doesn't look like they are in a position to sit back and do nothing.
But this is just based on shit from the internet...

Christ, I wish I hadn’t mentioned him now.
his mother Claire Rayner was born to Jewish parents in Stepney, London, the eldest of four children. Her father was a tailor and her mother a housewife.Jay (Jason Matthew) Rayner - 14th September 1966

not sure how we would define ‘middle class family’ here, his mum was a nurse, and her media career started by writing letters to publications, notably asking for better conditions and pay for nurses....

fair point, but singers need to have a whole lot of other people pulling levers to become well known to the general public...management, producers, songwriters, arrangers, image consultants stylists etc etc so the actual raw product might be very different to the finished article...,some popular singers nowadays couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket, same with art, I know a guy who was genius with a brush but got bombed out of art school cos he didn’t have a ‘concept’ beyond that...
Good point. So he's working class Brixton boy done good.

...dunno where the family lived but his mum was committed to nursing....her writing career began after she had kids as a full time nursing career was not practical with a growing family...

The interest is inspired by your apparent need to dis him at every mention which as far as I have been able to discover is unwarranted
He doesn't try to make himself out as anything other than who he is or what he does

Man, have you lost the plot these days. And it's sad to see you trotting out the old 'you must be jealous' Tory line.
We're talking about his involvement with Brixton, what with this being the Brixton forum.
Perhaps all you fanboys should start a Jay Rayner Appreciation Thread for all your celebrity chat, so this thread can stay on topic? I'll be happy to stay away from that one.

I literally just invited people to start an entire thread all about Jay Rayner if they want to, and yet you somehow twist that into me "telling people not to talk about him"!?
Wow.

I just read this, "Can we stop fucking talking about Rayner, FFS?"
