Noels: ‘Frightfully Badly Behaved Snobs’

Crotchety Colin Tennant, a.k.a. Baron Glenconner, the Scottish aristocrat who bought and developed Mustique, really lays into seasonal residents the Noels in the British documentary The Man Who Bought Mustique. He insults them to their faces, chases them off his property. "These people are worms," he says at one point. "They're terrible snobs, those people. They're frightfully badly behaved snobs." Takes one to know one, right? [Business Sheet]
