Robinho looking after the pennies

Today’s Mirror made me chuckle with its story about Manchester City’s Robinho. They suggest that the harsh economic times are affecting even the high earners.

Apparently, Robinho, rumoured to be earning £92,000-a-week, went shopping last week in the famous Harvey Nichols store. He bought clothes to the value of £700 but then allegedly queued up for twenty-five minutes to sign up for a store card that gave him 50% off his purchases.

My first reaction was to chuckle but then I thought, ‘why shouldn’t he?’
