....
Bloody right too. Why should someone who hasn't got kids, or whose kids have grown up, pay for milk for someone elses kids. If you cant afford to buy milk for your own kids, either work harder or don't have them.

Are you serious?  ??? ??? ???
It's only being so cheerful that keeps him going   ;D

That was one of my old Mums favourite sayings about my Dad. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Im not much of a believer in big Government and its bloated welfare state. In case anyone hadn't noticed.

It will end up going to the chinless wonders who have done sweet FA during this troubled times, nice buffet lunches though.
I've already said it will go on conferences. If you start throwing in buffet lunches as well, they will probably need about £10 million.  ;D

Buffet lunches now on & perhaps a Christmas party
£12,000,000

I think a payment to the families of NHS workers who've contracted it on the front line and died would be a good use of some of the fund  :(

unfortunately , whilst 12 million sounds like a lot ,if you start making individual payments to families of NHS and social care who have died in the line of duty , including ongoing (sadly many more will die ) 12 mill won't go far

food companies like deliveroo etc are getting customers to donate meals etc

using the fund to try and buy PPE would just increase profit for the sellers , there is only so much about .

hence my suggestion to use some for a national memorial ,which , if greedy people where excluded from being involved , would not cost much  :-\

Whatever is decided, and however the money is spent, those who don't get their hands on any of it will whinge and moan ..... I forsee a number of begging bowls being proffered, with or without any justification ..... there are a large number of oportunists just waiting to pounce...  which is a great shame considering his noble reasons for the undertaking, which will probably be lost in the scirmish.

Well done Sir, you have my respect.

£14,000,000 now hospital administrators can't wait to get their grubby little mitts on it , the main reason SWMBO & myself left the NHS years ago, top heavy with "finance experts". It's a damn shame but we'll done Old Soldier.

There is now, quite rightly, calls for this great gentleman to be knighted:

If anyone should be called "Sir" it is surely him, a real hero! 8) 8) :-* :-* ;)

Couldn't agree more Lizzie, a real " old school "  gentleman whose heart is in the right place .
