Must admit. This made me smile. The winners are only BTL landlords.:rotfl:

This news will go down well in some camps.

I expect they will snap up a few more properties and keep the HPC gang priced out. :rotfl:

They own several properties that they let out on the isle. I think these are flats in tenements and it gave them a good income. Maybe they will go into the property game again.’

    They're a shade younger and better looking than most BTL types.

    I read that they are not going to sell their house or their cars and will keep playing the lottery. Tight or what? Why bother playing if you are not going to spend any money?

    The fat !!!!!! both need gastric bands fitting. With them being porridge munchers, I expect they will want it free of charge on the NHS.

    If I had that kind of cash I would never own another house in my life. In fact, I don't think I would be arsed about owning anything, stay in hotels, rent whatever car i fancied, buy clothes then bin them when they are dirty. Eat in restaurants every night.

    I also expect they will buy more properties. With £160million to play with, and pensions looking dodgy, there's only one place to invest, property. ;)

    Thay've won £161m, and they're celebrating with a bottle of Lanson Black Label? You'd have thought they'd have splashed out a bit.
