And is it bad that I was waiting for George Michael to be diagnosed as an aids related death?

Were you concerned you may have caught from him?

Wants compo for ridiculous reason. Tick. Generation Snowflake. Tick. Had plastic surgery as soon as cheque cashed. Tick.

My god, what has the world come to?

Worlds really do fail me.
So she wants comp-en-say-shun i.e. more money - because she won lots of money ?
Surely even she can see the irony in that.

An update on our lovely lottery winner, showing her true class leaving court...

She's recently employed/been taken on by a PR representative, and probably why she is in the daily rags for doing nothing much. Winning the Lottery and having a PR rep is surely off-the-scale council...?

The Chief ex's PA and I were discussing things the other day at work: turns out she worked on a Bradford Police station reception for 5 years.

The hours of fun she had, declining to release seized cars to people with just "trade policies".

"but what it is love, its trade innit, it covers me to drive owt"

I spend a fair amount of time at various vehicle pounds up and down the country retrieving some of my fleet vehicles that fall into the wrong hands, and concur that they are a pit of despair, and I've never been to one where there hasn't been a full on screamer at the desk who "knows my 'ooman rights innit", or playing the race card when they are trying to pick up a battered old nail on dodgy cover note or trade policy.

I was at a HMRC compound last week after one of my vans was stopped with half a million Polish cigarettes in the back of it. That place was a very different standard though - the usual battered Transit and Sprinter vans that had been caught carrying contraband, plenty of trucks caught carrying illegal immigrants, but also a fair few high end vehicles that have been seized under HMRC forfeiture - including a GT3 RS and a Ferrari 488.

She had to phone the finance company in order to realise she was allowed to sell her car which was on finance. She thought it was on PCP. WTF?

No mention made on the programme that her company car would have entailed large income tax liabilities. She might have been better-off refusing it and keeping her financed Fiat.

As she was adamant the car still had to be road legal while left sitting on the private drive, it was easy to understand why she had no money.

Out of control personal debt is not the preserve of the council classes, there are plenty of middle class families living the dream with big credit card debts, huge interest only mortgages and a couple of smart German cars on PCP deals praying that interest rates don't rise.

Probably more of them tbh and their collective debt will way-outstrip the council ones

No, all PHers are powerfully built, debt and mortgage free and only ever buy cars for cash.

Second hand cars. Why spend £25000 on a diesel family car when you could have a 5 year old Cayman?

[bob-lad]

Because you'd end up with a Cayman ?

A penny a day?

£3.65 a year.

That's not even a weekly payment on a Brighthouse sofa!

Probably all a Brighthouse sofa is actually worth though!
The 'Adriana' is a highlight sofa...only £18 a week!!

I think he put in 1p on the first day, 2p on the second etc.
so if you started today by March 10th next year you'd have
(0.01 + 3.66) x 365/2 = £667.95

Which is nice if you're absolutely skint!
Or Christmas if you're council and have 2 kids.

You got me. My spelling's generally good, it's my fat-fingered typing that's the problem.
