Lord knows I’m no admirer of Fergie,but I think she’s been treated shamefully with the media taking a nasty holier-than-thou attitude about it.
Who here can honestly say,hand on heart,that in the same position as her they’d have politely sent the man with half a million smackers on his way ?
If my daughter ever leaves off boozing for long enough to get her journalism qualifications,I sincerely hope she never descends to this level.

True,she could have said no.But this is a woman with very little personal income who spends money like water and is up to her eyes in debt.Anyone would have to be a person of extremely high principles to turn down half a million for old rope under those circumstances.I would have taken the money myself,and is there anyone who can honestly say they would have turned it down ?

I’m afraid that if someone dangled half a million pounds in front of me I’d probably be prepared to sell my grandmother,if I still had one.
It’s not surprising that she jumped at it,with her history of money troubles.
It just seems wrong,but I can’t put my finger on exactly why.

This song by 10cc keeps following me around –

Not according to my daughter who’s the same age.

You must be mad young man,but I’ll certainly sponsor you again.
Thanks so much for the invitation to join you,but a) I’m a pensioner and b) my right knee just hasn’t been the same since I actually injured it a couple of years ago changing the sheets on my daughter’s bed,of all things.
It’s wonderful that you’re prepared to give so much time and effort to a good cause.

I am never going to understand men even if I live to be 63.
