GB_Amateur Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Dave Crisp, 76, Wiltshire, Finder of the Frome Hoard I split the money that I was given with the landowner of the field, so we got about £180,000 each. I always say if I’m talking about it: “Well, 180 grand, that’s not bad for three days’ work.” I bought my council house, which I’m still in. My family did well out of it, too. When I pop my clogs, they’ll do better out of it again. It changed my life. (emphasis mine) When I think I know the English language I see an expression like that and it brings me back to earth. Maybe some here know these people or at least know of them. Typical but still interesting article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
