Cold!!!!!

It is blinking cold here in Hesdin!!!!!

I know, I know, it’s winter!; but it’s not quite December yet and as I have lived my whole life in Luton, England, I’m not accustomed to this kind of weather at this time of year. My only consolation seems to be that if I was still in Luton then I would probably be worse off as the Yahoo news today is telling me that it is so bad there the Airport (yes Luton Airport and no, I don’t want a Chinzano – neither Bianco or Rosé) is having problems along with most of the others.

We do have some snow here in Hesdin but it’s very little and dissapears before mid-day so I know it’s not that bad but last week I was still in tee shirts!!!

Roll on summer!

I’ll let you know when it ‘goes live’ Watch this space!

Lottery Winner Forced To Pay Ex-Wife £2m

 

What kind of world are we living in when this can happen!

This man bought a lottery ticket and was lucky enough to win and would, I assume, have given some to his daughter ( given that it appears he was of a sufficiently generous nature to have given his old house to his cleaner) and then his ‘wife’ who left him ten years ago for someone else (for whatever reasons) hears about it and starts seeing pound signs!

If the report on Sky News – Online at Yahoo – is accurate, this man paid for her share of their house ten years ago and has been paying maintainance for his child for the last ten years and then greed rears it’s ugly head! would she have agreed to pay him the money if the situation were reversed?; I’m willing to bet not!

What makes the whole thing worse is that the claim is backed by the law in the first place. It may have been an ‘out of court’ settlement but that means that some lawyer advised him that he would lose if he continued to fight the claim.

In my opinion it should not be possible  for one to be open to claims like this when someone is lucky enough to reap the rewards of taking the chance of paying for a lottery ticket in the first place!
