£40K discount on purchase price? I could live with that

^You'd have to pay me 40K to even consider going near the place again. There isn't enough money in the world to get me to actually live there.

I can't believe Kay Burley's arrogance, for issuing a joke of an apology for Breaking Covid 19 rules. Pretending that she thought what she did was ok is an insult to our intelligence.
