Stephen Foster, a supermarket worker from Gateshead, received a shock was mistakenly paid £1.4 million in wages. …..However, Mr Foster decided not to spend the money and instead contacted his employers to arrange repayment.
The Co-operative have now rewarded his honesty with a crate of Budweiser beer.

Interesting….they seem to have changed the shape of Budweiser bottles since I last bought any…..
Wouldn’t Foster’s have been more appropriate?
I would have been on the next flight to Vegas. Use the debit card at a casino, get as much in chips as possible. Gamble a bit playing blackjack (best odds so you wouldn’t lose too much, if any) then cash the chips out. Then disappear.
“Hard Times Come Again No More” indeed.
A famous City bank once bunged an erroneous £100k into my wife’s account. In them days a hundred thousand pounds really was a hundred thousand pounds.
I bet he’s a sadder Budweiser man.
You bought Budweiser? Why? Only the once, I hope. It tastes as though someone else has already drunk it.
A crate of Bud is not worth the normal retail price, let alone £1.4 Million
