I think you'll find 2georgie aka pam the man aka steve57 claimed he /she had paid off his 225k mortgage with it's PDX short - and was looking at a 155k flat in Dubai.. LOL.
As for Pommy - his murky past is well know to many, and it's not pretty.
His recent past includes such great investments as LGB, CRA and MOI/GME - which explains his bitterness. Those are investments he's told us about before they've flopped - unlike his PDX short which he told us about after the event.
And Paul4...etc - he hasn't got a computer at home so you won't hear from him until Monday because he posts from the warmth of the local library during the week. He's gutted coz he's done his winter fuel rebate on PDX.
