True, but I believe just over 45% of the total money paid in is paid back out. Quite high running costs in my book, and I would question how Camelot came to the brink of financial disaster whilst the directors have enjoyed enormous wealth increases since the lottery began.

How Branson lost his bid at the eleventh hour smells decidely fishy to me.

That ..... needs taking with a bucketful of Salt ! Who exactly decides what a good cause is or isn't ? I'm pretty sure my ideas are different to others & therein lies the problem.

Some of the crochet, flash mob, swimming gala money was from the Lotto, topped up with tax payers' money.

You can't argue those aren't 'worthy causes'.

Could you?

Yes outside your own house why not? Unless you have no pride on the appearance of your home/business that is.

You must be getting old. I was busy over New Year and was not on for a couple of days, Mick is only on in the morning and Mel is busy with the rabble on the dark side of the forum.
