The question is, could more passengers have survived but for the availability of modern technology. I speak of none other than the bin liner. Would a roll of bin liners buy you a few hours in freezing water? Say one tied around each leg, another around the torso and another for holding necklaces, watches, gold teeth, etc. And a few more for floatation.

I have no sympathy. If she was so hard up she should not have chucked that necklace off the back of the ship.

So she's selling a load of old clothes ?
I bet the crafty old dear's been and bought them from a jumble sale. She probably knocks out this scam on eBay three or four times a year.

Maybe we should have a poll?

Poor lady. Makes me sick that people can get a million dollar house and do nothing, and this poor lady can't even afford a packet of digestives.
