Bank error in your favour

[metalblue]

That would've been the sensible thing to do. Of course, stocks and shares can go down as well as up but some wise low-risk investment choices would've probably seen him make a few quid before inevitably being asked for the money back.

The bloke is a fucking idiot. Despite the bank themselves being idiots and telling him he could spend it, he knew that it wasn't really his money in the first place. In any case, I'm not sure he's "lost" anything. Surely he can just go and sell the property that he'd bought anyway and downsize back to where he was. In fact, house prices have been rising over the past 12 months so he should make a profit. Unless he's a lying bastard and he's blown a fair chunk of the £110k on something else instead.

He said he hadn’t spent it which is why the bank could take it back plus they took an extra £6k (incompetent cunts) which they are now returning plus another £500 as a goodwill gesture. If he had spent it, he claims, they couldn’t have done a thing about it.

Like you say, surely he can sell the house and not really be any worse off. Moral of the story? Spend it

Is she 60?

Old PCSP scheme had retirement at 60, potentially a lump sum from that?

No early retirement thought illness, out in 53, now 56 and took the Occ-Pen early with a slight reduction.

As I say though we're not on the bones of our arses so an unexpected payment although nice won't change anything and we don't 'need to spend it'.

Which is why I asked if he was a scouser. They only cover the inbreds normally.

I lost interest when I saw it was the Echo Chamber. It might have been repeated in many of the the 80 odd other Reach plc websites but its a small mercy that the MUEN wouldn't have carried it in the print version.
So much crap from the media this morning.
Woke to Google telling me about a site that had an article about Pep failing but turned out to be a transfer rumour for FFS.
They also gave me a MUEN headline about ragfans raging about KDB comments. More crap.
Then the BBC had more crap about Gerrard and Britney Spears. Then the above 'story'.
How much does all this crap from the media affect the climate? Far more than farming cows l think.

Is this about the game of Monopoly?

It's still theft even from a big company, have you no sole?

I’d hide the money somewhere at my work plaice.

But what if you implied that's what you would do but it's actually a red herring?
