It couldn't work of course - for a start you could never police the conditions, and the infrastructure needed would cost a fortune. But I liked the idea. Of course I did! £500? Yes please. I would spend it all on me & Diz. After all, everyone I know would have the same amount.

the govt has done that twice in the time we've been here. Each time we've said thanks very much and squirrelled it away
