*_ash_* Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The Times version includes a charity who says this money should be put to good use for other people in poverty. Why don't they start a similar campaign then online? Stupid tossers. It was set up for him, and I hope he enjoys it. It's his, he can pee it up the wall, invest it, give it away. His choice.

andygardener Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Fantastic story and thumbs up to the man for his decency and honour. Hope the money turns his life round for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw47 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 *ash* yes i read the Times report also. The spokeswomen for the charity said something like 'it would have been so much better if the money had been given to a charity, we could have done more with it'. My thought being 'yes, you could have carved off about 50% for your expenses to start with'. Good luck to the guy, he might be down & out but he showed character hope he enjoys his reward.
