Yep, good on him.

Poor fellow will have to scrape along on the bones of his arse now that he's only got £10 million left...

But I bet that Gordon Brown is fuming at all the IHT that he's going to miss out on.

good on him.....

i would do the same without a pact with god though....

I thought they went bust? Most of their store up here became Lidls I believe.

His stake was sold off before it went bust.

I've never needed a reason not to shop in Kwik Save, but this is a very good one.

He's alright AJ.

He owned up to a few years ago the Total Fitness chain of gyms but sold them. He is over 80 now and takes things a bit easier.

Proper hands on and when built the Total Fitness in Wilmslow insisted on satying in a caravan on site to oversea everything.

Clever guy obviously knew he had a load of st supermarkets and got out when the going was good. Fairplay to him.

Maybe he got out before they really started doing well. I mean look how much Sainsburys, Tesco etc are worth now. He got out to concentrate on other things. I think he sold it for 20 mill (i think) which aint bad in the early 70's.

Anyway he's 80 odd now and is taking things (for him) a bit easier, and likes his fishing.

"Pact with God"? He must be mentally deficient according to the thread in the Lounge.

Still, I'd happily be mentally deficient and a self-made billionaire.

Nobody would be allowed to live in a caravan in Wilmslow. You must mean Handforth.

You never know there's enough 'trash' up that way now.
Good luck.

Am I being a proper cynic thinking there is some tax planning or something going on here? I may well be!

If not, I wonder if his family are as happy with it all as he is?

Atleast he hasn't planned on leaving it to the Church, which is surely closer to leaving to "God"?

They have already been taken care of.
