Viv Nicholson, who became famous overnight when she said she would "spend, spend, spend" a £152,000 Pools win in 1961, has died aged 79. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-32275463 Even Google recognises her quote. Reply to this message | Report message

She might have gone on a spending spree but she also made provision to have her kids privately educated and apparently they have turned out to be fine upstanding adults with good careers. Good luck to her, despite the tragedies in her life she harmed no one and had no regrets. Reply to this message | Report message       2

>> Good luck to her, ... except she's now dead. But good that she invested in her children's education. But in today's money the win was over £3M... so spend, spend, spend it was! And that was her decision. Reply to this message | Report message

>>But >> in today's money the win was over £3M... >> And worth more in "Set up for life" terms as there was relatively little in the way of consumer goods to spend it on back then if you compare to today. Reply to this message | Report message

Good for her. I hope she was sat down when she heard the good news. Poor lady suffered from dementia I believe. They're but for the grace of God. Reply to this message | Report message

I just put it down to you being from Yorkshire and therefore by default being linguistically challenged... ( someone else has just used "stood" when they meant "standing" but I've resisted...) ;-) Reply to this message | Report message
