People presumed she was loaded but in actual fact the properties were mortgaged to the hilt and in negative equity so she couldn't even sell them to break even. Took her almost 10years to pay down the mortgages and start selling them.

He goes on to tell me that they come in every Friday, for a bit of food and a pint. The guy always goes to the bar for the drinks and orders a pint of Guinness for himself, and a budweiser for the girlfriend, but in a peroni glass. The stingy huar is saving a few cents by letting her think she has a pint of peroni, I'd say some night she'll be out with the girls and will get a proper pint of peroni and will be giving out that it tastes off
