I've been to the house, at one of their summer balls and it is lovely. I doubt they'll get 5 million for it though.

    I'd offer Anthea (47) a job scrubbing chez moi. Minimum wage, of course, there's loads of EEs who'd be happy to work for less.

    Looks like she's going to have to do a bit more 'scrubbing' on those Flash adverts, how the mighty have fallen. I bet the conversation in their house goes something like this

    Anthea : Grant when are those profits going to materialise ?, I'm sick of doing those adverts, it's so embarrassing.
    Grant : blub, blub <cries into his bank statements>

    :D

    Its only a matter of time until they feel they have no option but to open it out for Programmes like "how to sell your house".


    ( this may not be true)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    something good might - just might - come out of this.
    I,m hoping that all the other media mediocrities on obscene contracts and all the wannabee property magnates take some time out to study what has happened here and revise their attitudes toward wealth and fame.

    some hope!!

    the boveys and turners of this world will always be with us, sadly.

    meanwhile: RIP anthea's career, RIP bovey's unmaterialised wealth.

    She'll probably have a book written (ghostwriter), then tart it out on the TV promoting her "Rags to Riches, Rags to Riches: My Story" for big bucks.

    Bet his ex-wife's having a little snigger.

    Eugh....
