    errr....no, i've worked out mine and plan to leave my children very well off. Why would you give Gordon anything of what you had left ?

    And for those of us without kids? :)

    They did say they were planning on leaving him zero pence - you even quoted them saying that :)
    Conjugating the verb 'to be":
    -o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries
  • Wife and I are leaving anything left of ours to charity , everyone else getiing....a nice big round figure , ZERO.

    But if i find out I have an exacting amount of time left then i have a date with a bag of blow , a donkey, and a midget lesbian couple that might get a repeated sizeable donation.
    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    I will make a bet with anyone that they (like Brewsters Millions) cannot spend all their dosh by the time they go.

    If in the unlikely event I lose, you wont be around to claim. :cool:

    Same here but I have noticed that people like Branson and Lord Sugar maybe(not sure about this one) don't believe in leaving money to their children. I have two grandsons, one now at Uni and the other just got 9 GCSEs at A with three starred and I am so proud of their Mum who has done a great job with them that I will be happy making sure they have money for house deposits etc.

    Maybe Mr Branson and Mr Sugar noticed the obvious link between kids who expect big piles of cash from Mummy and Daddy and the tendency to be an ungrateful little brat.

    ......perhaps they know that a lot of the "second" generation rich who got money handed to them on a plate don't work and ended up dead from wrapping a sports car round a tree or through drugs.......a reasonable amount re house deposits etc would be ok but one has to be careful........
