No, not for that much money. Envious they won, but not that much. I wouldn't have gone public, either.

Postdog

No I felt sorry for them. Not for winning but for going public.

Zeuhl

Slight?!?!?!?!?!

Haven't seen them yet but >good for them< :-(

pogle

Nice to see an ordinary couple win. Think they will regret going public though.

Buenchico

A lot of people seem to use the word 'jealousy' when they actually mean 'envy'. (Jealously is envy AND the addition of negative feelings towards the person who is envied).

Envy? Yes!
Jealousy? No!

I know what I meant.

Prudie

Genuinely would not want to have to deal with that much money and think they're totally mad for going so public about it.

Buenchico

I wasn't criticising you, Sandy (or suggesting that your use of English is anything other than perfect).

I was simply trying to explain my answer to anyone who might regard 'envy' and 'jealousy' as synonymous. (Many people seem to. It's one of those little things that irritate me immensely!)

hope they can now afford Weightwatchers.

they better move south of the border - give Scotland independence and in months Salmond will have the land bankrupt and taxes at 70% plus

I like to think I know my around investments and the taxation system.
But that amount of money is mind boggling and blows away most of my thought process.
You start to think ...Tax efficient investments ..then hold on ...why worry ...even after tax, the interest is more than I could ever spend anyway.

So I have purchased my nice big house , with a sea view and private beach ...
I now need to worry about security ...personal body guards .... can't even walk to the pub now for a pint , without the worry of being kidnapped ...

DTCwordfan

Just buy the pub and move in, Sirandy.........solves the walking and the security exposure.

I had the TV sound turned down when it was on the news tonight. At first I though it was Harold Bishop from Neighbours presenting the woman with the cheque but it was actually the woman's husband.
Good luck to them.
