I did until I read the comments at the bottom.

I hate the thought of anyone losing their home though. sad

Wonder if they're still in Heathrow? Will the airport will be inundated now with similar folk seeing as that couple managed to live there so long!

Heaven only knows! I am intrigued though and would love to know the end of this story!!!!!!

I thought at one point that they were a couple of actors employed by the DM to highlight the plight of the homeless living in airports such as Heathrow.

Alas, I think that was too altruistic a view.

They're probably holed up somewhere negotiating the film rights for their 'story'...hmm

Or writing their memoirs......

I thought that too rose, but as you say!!!!!!! I think they're tucked up in Canada, but I could be wrong!

No sign of these two anywhere!! The fund cannot be accessed! No websites can be accessed. They appear to have vanished! I wonder if they got the money? I b.....y hope not!!

I read somewhere that people are asking for (and getting) their money back.

I wouldn't mind betting they've done a runner to Canada.

I thought he looked like a bit of a charmer!

Well, there is a review on Trip Advisor from 6 days ago, but I can't look at it all because it just keeps freezing my computer. However, it does mention a Katrina.
I hope they have not put the evil finger on my pc.

Have now read the review on Trip Advisor and see what you mean about Canada, merlotgran grin
