Captain Tom’s daughter says family kept £800,000 from his books The daughter of Capt Sir Tom Moore has admitted to keeping £800,000 from books that the late army veteran had written. Hannah Ingram-Moore said the family kept the sum from three books because Captain Tom had wanted them to retain the profits. In an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, which is scheduled to be broadcast on Friday, she said her father wanted his family to keep the profits in Club Nook Ltd, a firm separate from the Captain Tom Foundation charity. Full story (Guardian) It's all good though because when folk bought the book they had no expectation that the proceeds would go to the charity. Despite the intro written by the man himself stating they would. Chancers of the highest order! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Colonel Tom character softened people up to believe that the NHS is a charity to be funded by pensioners doing sponsored walks up and down their garden - little wonder the Tory press loved him and little wonder his family are selfish grasping chancers !

southernrover Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I genuinely don't care what other people do (by and large) but, erm: Bride Sarah Wilkinson saves for 20 years to wed herself - BBC News Quote A woman who spent 20 years saving for her dream wedding has thrown herself her own big day after not meeting the right partner. Sarah Wilkinson, 42, decided to hold a wedding ceremony conducted by her celebrant friend at Harvest House in Felixstowe, Suffolk. The credit controller said the occasion was a natural progression after she treated herself to an engagement ring. "It was a lovely day for me to be centre of attention," she said. "The ceremony wasn't an official wedding, but I had my wedding day. "I think you get to the point where you think 'I might not have this with a partner by my side, but why should I miss out?' "That money was reserved for my wedding - it was a case of it's there and why not use it for something I want to do." Ms Wilkinson, who lives in the town, said she splashed out £10,000 on the celebration after saving each month and adding any extra windfalls she had, such as bingo wins. The bride was surrounded by 40 of her closest family and friends for the ceremony on 30 September and another 40 people in the evening at the tennis club opposite. She told BBC Radio Suffolk her friends were not surprised to hear of her outlandish plan to stage her own wedding. "No-one stopped smiling all day and everyone said what an amazing time they had," said Ms Wilkinson. "Nearly every single one said 'that's such a Sarah thing to do'." ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I discovered only yesterday, Colonel Mustard was originally called Colonel Yellow. They decided to change the name before the first edition of Cluedo was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
