I Don't Believe This Story For One Minute....

[trt]

They say they move around the airport, to not draw attention then tell or sell their story with photos.

And they cant manage on the pensions & benefits they receive.

We have a Rental or two in East Kent, nothing special, all 3 bed semis, they go for £750+ easily even the one we still have in Sandwich.

I can bite you if you really want me to Talbot....:-)

They weren't homeless when they took out the Loan

///It is 18 months since they lost their home in Poole;///

///a £20,000 bank loan they took out in 2011 to try to keep afloat///

Looks like they got a result http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2943749/They-stay-Middle-class-homeless-couple-forced-sleep-Heathrow-losing-home-overwhelmed-generosity-strangers-offering-spare-rooms.html

My point was Baldric that now they are homeless the bank have no way of knowing where they are so they should just stop paying it.

[-Talbot-]

Sounds more like a 20,000 pound gamble, Baldric. Obviously they lied to the bank about their financial situation.

Thank you, Retro. That's the bes...actually the only offer I've had today.

[Baldric]

I reckon they know now! :-)

Is the Daily Mail paying them for their "story" ? If so, they could use that for rent.

if you are stuggling with day to day bills, what bank in its right mind would lend you 20k?

[ladybirder]

Well outing themselves as homeless has paid off for them as they are now overwhelmed with offers of a home plus a fund has been started for them. i actually think it was honourable of them to keep on paying off the loan in spite of their circumstances. Many wouldn't.

[-Talbot-]

Shame they never had a dog, that's usually pays dividends .

[ladybirder]

You're all heart Talbot, bless you.

My bet he left the kids mother for this younger piece and the children don't have anything to do with him.

But there is a place - Heathrow airport.

[Gromit]

Perhaps they blew the £100,000 on holidays and that's why Heathrow is like home from home for them.

Thanks for the reply boxtops.

I used to manage a pub/restaurant at the top end of the high street, which got burned down, but that was years ago.

It was called the Crypt Tavern.
