Sorry Dyna-ti, I suspect there is a difference between retired and stopped working.

Agree!

I'd have been a better winner though...

i like how untill a week ago they were both out of work because of health problems, so basically claiming disability...now they plan to travel the world?

Come on where are the benefit fraud people when you need them!

He is a retired cameraman ,She a retired nurse.
Didn't get your info from NOTW did you

The BBC actually...but yeah good luck to them, benefit fraud is hardly an issue when you see the amount of cash the bankers have creamed off the country.

The first comment was tongue in cheek but i should have fitted some smiley because it doesn't carrry well in text

Brought into the frame in jest or not, one or two points to address.

Disabled people, or people 'assessed' as such and living with the assistance of benefits, (they paid into the system to receive in any event), are as entitled as anyone else to spend their income on lottery tickets, and make plans to do the 'normal' things with their winnings, such as travel the world.

Perhaps it would escape immediate assumptions that only having a large amount of money would facilitate such an adventure for people living with poor health. Now they have such monies, who the hell can reasonably decry them for spending it as they see fit?

Both public servants. Not a 'currently imprisoned child molester', or such like, who could have won it.

Bless the pair of them.

I noted they were both rather rotund. Often that is a sign of issues related to poor health originating elsewhere. Perhaps they will employ a trainer and nutritionist. Hopefully, being intelligent people, they will not ignore that possibility.

If by any chance they or their kin read this message board, PM me for my address to send the cheque. I am not greedy, half a million would suffice.

I'd rather a child molester had won it, then no one would care when I robbed him...not that i'm planning anything of the sort. The balaclava? erm...getting ready for the winter ski season officer.
