    "The couple, said to have lost nearly £100million in the downturn.."
    You mean the couple who borrowed £100million and didn't even own the pot they p155ed in.

    "they might need to sell after their buy-to-let empire collapsed."
    .. yes luv. But no "might" about it.

    "She also said: "We have had to re-evaluate our lives. I don't think a £5million mansion makes you happy.""

    Yes it does, if it's been paid for honestly and it IS yours.

    Lots of other gems in there, but it's Sunday and I am making a jacket spud so that's more important to me than these annoying people.

    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.

    More like "Riches to Rags"

    Our backs are against the wall. We are in it like lots of other people in this country who have been bitten by the economic circumstances

    Doesn't sit to well with being paid £1.2million for being a furniture design consultant (probably just lending her name to it) in 2006 and 2007 OR that their net worth used to be £100m. They have NO idea, do they?

    If they are in serious financial difficulty (i.e. virtually completely bankrupt), then it will be because they mortgaged themselves up to the watsits... :rolleyes: (due to desire to make a LOT more money). They took a big risk and it backfired...

    I'll give the 2 lemons £100K for it. And not a penny more.


    You'd think it'd have a few more bedrooms than 4 wouldn't you. Especially when you see the footprint of a 4 bed wimpey home :rotfl:

    Why do we give these people the oxygen of publicity?..I have no interest in hearing anything about these people. I'd rather read about people who have done something decent and worthwhile in their lives.
