Secret Millionaire - Croydon

[Cian]

Dunno who else saw this, but they did the Secret Millionaire in Croydon on Monday

Compared to Brighton which came across relatively well, Croydon comes across as a shithole full of absolute degenerates

Good work, Channel 4

How much was he worth, a tenner?

About 100 grand less after the Croydon riots actually!

 

[Albion Robster]

Yeah, I saw it.
The Millionaire gave far too much money away to the locals....although it was a right proper shithole though!

I would love to know if 'Frank' is still employed by that removal firm?? I very much doubt it...!!

When I saw this thread I thought it was all about CPFC2010

This.

All depends on what part of Croydon they used. Anything south of the centre is OK/nice (S.Croydon, Sanderstead Purley etc.), everything north is crap (West Croydon, Thornton Heath etc., not to mention Selhurst ).

I used to live/work in the area for a few years so I know the shite bits and the good bits. Avoiding the bad bits like the plague and staying in the good bits is not a bad life but not a patch on home that is rural Sussex. Glad I left in the end.

The "Frank" lad drew him in hook line and sinker, I think.

I really liked the millionaire, was a real character. And the community projects he gave to I thought were very worthy. Irrespective of wether it's a palace area, kids who need help and most importantly WANT help to stay off the streets and stay straight should get this support. But that Frank lad was an absolute tool. All nice off camera then threatening to burn the bloke and larging it up in front of his mates. I really wanted to smack the little prick, I very much doubt he's still employed by that house clearance guy and has probably burnt his house down by now

Ironically there's not a lot of Palace fans in Croydon which is bizarre, most of us are in Surrey and Sussexthese days, yes that's a compliment to your home county...

Did they get him down Smellhurst to try and pounce some money to do up the toilets in the away end, I heard they got a bit damaged last season. And going on the rest of the place I expect they are still the same.

Should have to renounce palace before being granted right of abode in the kingdom of Sussex.

Compared to Brighton which came across relatively well ...

... even though the generosity of the secret millionnaire who gave £12,500 to the Towner Club, which supports people suffering from dementia who are under 65, simply resulted in the Alzheimers Society closing down the Towner Club?

That didn't go in to the episode! What's the story with that?
