Brother 30 years in music events business lost all his work months ago. One son has taken 10% pay cut in London job.

And don't forget the woman who lost eight stone in weight in two weeks; the two-headed calf born in Somerset, and a Z lister 'showcasing' their lithe post-baby body...

50% off? We may well look back on this as the golden age...

I'm thinking of those FTB's relying on Dad (BMD) retiring this year and taking his pension. The FTB's flat deposit is coming from the 25% tax free cash that Dad can claim. But Dad's white-faced at how his pension pot has dropped in the last three weeks. He's now decided to stay on at work for another year and hopes to God his pension pot makes back some of his lost money when that damn virus subsides. "But Dad!", says the lad, "What about all those Carnival shares you bought after your mini-cruise? And the Stocks and Shares ISA you've been saving into for me?" "Sit down, son..."

No shortage of £1m ex council houses/flats. This is from Moneywise 2017... In Hackney, in east London, ex-council houses in Shepherdess Walk that were bought through Right to Buy for £171,000 was sold for £1 million in 2014. In nearby Islington, in north London, a flat in Middlesex Street was bought for £125,000 and sold for £1.4 million in 2016.

I'm surprised the landlord hasn't metered the water, and installed a time lock on the toilet, to discourage excessive flushing. Tenants would be encouraged to urinate etc at work or elsewhere outside the landlord's property.

Great program. Recommended watch for everyone on here.
