I liked the comment "Had they been Man City fans they could have kept the money to buy two new players".

good on them, although they could have used it to get newer bolton shirts!

"She added: "I'd like to go on holiday with it, but I won't buy a passport because it lasts 10 years and I doubt I'll live that long."

That's unbelievably depressing.

I like the fact her plans for the money are to be buried with it. Could have at least given the blokes a nice tip as well as the thankyou card if she doesn't plan to actually spend it

I think the idea was to put it towards her funeral V, not have it stuffed into her shroud pocket. Dying is an expensive business these days.

The wife is Widnesian, and knows this lady, reckons she's as tight as a gnat's chuff

What they don't know is that there was actually 5 grand there!

I know that honesty is it's own reward but did anyone else think 'msierable owd bitch!'?

Thanks lads, there £500 I never had. There's £200 for you, £200 for you and I'll keep the £100.

I'd keep the five but I doubt I'll live long enough to spend it.

Mrs Brady.

A lad at our school found that his gran us3d to put £20's between the pages of books on the bookshelf.

He cleaned her out one summer.

Smashing lad.

yeah pensioner widow gets a windfall and you expect her to hand over 80% of it to two young working men? You're not Tory Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequor by any chance are you?

Hang on Coffee, they didn't find her purse in the street and bring it back. The money was in her own house and was her property since her husband put it there. Mind you, a £20 note each and "have a drink on me lads" wouldn't have gone amiss. As for the kid who robbed his granny blind he should have had his fingers broken.

nah but she could have given them a treat couldn't she?

I know they didn't want one and I admire their honesty - I wouldn't have nabbed it either it's just that she finds £500 she never had and her reaction is 'that'll come in handy when I'm dead.'

My sister-in-law's parents dropped £86,000 on the lottery. They haven't spent a penny of it now he's had to go into a hmoe with Alzheimers.

they've got 3 kids and six grandchildren who will have to see what's left when Renfrewshire council have had their bit.

Don't make me a tory, share the wealth is all I'm saying. A communist work ethic if ever I saw it!

Love the avatar by the way.

But you already knew that.

By the way the lad who nicked the 20's has done time for robberty on more than one occasion so it shows that crime doesn't always pay.

On a similar note my dad (a builder) was working on a local labour MP's house. Lifting the floorboards he found poloarids of him in womens underwear with a vibrator shoved where the monkeys shove their nuts.

He sheepishly left them on the bedroom dresser in an envelope.

Surely that's honesty that deserves a reward!!!

That reminds me we've got the builders coming next week. Must clear out the airing cupbaord.

Not wishing to appear argumentative for arguing's sake Coffe, but:
Why? What's honest about it and why does it deserve a reward? Wacky as the bloke may be, it was in the privacy of his own house and no one else's business. Your father should have just left them where he found them in truth. Bet the poor bugger was waiting for the blackmail letter for weeks after.

coffeymagic · Post by **coffeymagic** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 1:20 pm

I was joking when I said it deserved a reward.

Hard to leave where they were when the ceiling was coming down.

The MP's wife spoke to him the day after, she wasn't fussed at all (she was in some of the pics too). My dad agreed, what they got upto in their own house was their own business.

I just wondererd what the NotW would have paid!

by the way.

coffey.

Don't mind Coff but the double 'ee'....

Had my own touch of luck with money today - walked up to a cashpoint at lunch and saw £20 there waiting for me to collect. Lovely. Can't beat free money!

Now if that was me I'd hang around and see if the person came back.

I'd like to think if I was daft enough to do this then someone would do it for me.

It was still floating when Blurred grabbed it. Hadn't even hit the deck.
