THATS SAD
#1

The last remaining survivor of the Titanic has been forced to sell her mementoes from the liner to help pay for her nursing home fees.
Millvina Dean, who was a two-month-old baby when the ship sank in 1912, is to auction off items including a suitcase filled with the clothes given to her family by the people of New York when they arrived in America after being rescued.

I hope someone comes to her rescue
perhaps a museum could buy them but let her hold onto them for now?

I was starting to think your listening to Radio Two, Ray. Getting all these stories.

The wonderful welfare state of the United Kingdom.
Piss on the elderly, but give hand outs to all and sundry flooding in from overseas and lazy twunts on the dole.
Good riddance.

I totally agree with you.This is indeed a sad and tragic story which should never happen to anyone.Like someone suggested,perhaps a museum could buy them and let her hold onto them to help her out.For sure I hope someone does come to her rescue.

I don't think it's sad, after all, she's not being 'forced' to sell them. She has choices like Thydney has said, she doesn't have to be in a private home. She probably intended selling them at auction before she died anyway, so sorry, I don't see anything sad in it at all.
