Founder of The Gentleman’s Jolly Daniel Ralph is a man who should learn to be more considerate; drag racing in Knightsbridge is not an acceptable pastime
Monday’s Evening Standard reported that a group of super car owners organised a dangerously irresponsible two abreast car race from the Millennium Hotel in Knightsbridge to Sloane Square on Sunday. The group did so, it is claimed, as a protest against proposals by The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea Council to introduce measures to curb cars being revved loudly and to stop dangerous driving in the locality.
Of their publicity stunt, the not-so-local organiser, 25-year old Putney-based Daniel Ralph, the founder of the pompously named The Gentleman’s Jolly, told the newspaper:
“It’s a ridiculous rule against people who like fast cars. Buses make just as much noise and cause more traffic congestion, maybe they should get an ASBO, too”.
“People love to come to Knightsbridge to see all the super cars, it’s all part of the spectacle of London, we shouldn’t be trying to frighten them away”.
As much as all at The Steeple Times love high performance cars, we also sympathise with the long-suffering residents of The Royal Borough. For too long, wealthy brats in expensive cars have caused chaos and nuisance on our streets and now it is time that Daniel Ralph and his like became a little more considerate. We doubt they will and for this reason we make this selfish youngster our Wally of the Week.
