James Gordon said, “A very nice lady came to me and gave me a green envelope. She said that it was a gift from HAPPY PEOPLE. That was the first time in my life. I took it and sensed that there was money. I Didn’t know how much but I knew it must have been about £1,000, so I said,
THANK YOU!
Then I found that there was £2,000. Apparently, I need some dental surgery help so it’s like exactly on time, because I need money badly.”
Very happy Monika Ross said, “I was going to get on top of the Treetop Walk, when I noticed some notes flying down. I managed to pick up a few of them - all together £100. There were many people there for the same reason. I’m very happy and grateful to the Bakers. Recently, I’ve had bad luck and I was caught twice on trains without a ticket and I have to pay two penalty fares. With this money, I can pay them easily and still would have some money left for a new perfume.”
Frank Baker said, that their first plan was to hand over the envelopes with the money but finally they had decided to do both; drop the notes from the Treetop Walkway and hand over the envelopes to those who were
on the Treetop Walk. They had problems with the sum, for what would be the best amount to put into the envelopes. Would that be £1,000 or more but they wanted to cheer up as many people as they could.
Finally, they decided to put £2,000 into each envelope. There were 360 envelopes, given every half an hour, and the rest, £ 280,000 by the special permission of Kew Gardens Manager was spread from Treetop Walk to the ground for everybody who walked anywhere nearby.
The Manager of the Gardens was very surprised by that unusual situation and at the beginning was very worried about health and safety of their visitors. But the way the Millionaires wanted to give their money to people seemed quite safe.
The happy couple had set up a service called “Happy People” and the group had done a safe, smooth and smashing job.
£1m
Apart from that, The Bakers gave £1m for development and maintenance of Kew because for years they loved to spend their free time there and are the members of the group called “Friends of the Kew Gardens”, so they know its situation very well.
The Bakers are planning
a trip around the World and then will decide on their future life.
F&J Bakers WON’T BAKE ANY MORE
The biggest ever Euro Million draw winner Frank Baker 48, took over his job after his father who started this business in 1950, after a few years of working as a Civil Engineer. As a young and ambitious man, he developed a small family business into a prosperous company with four bakeries and a network of ten shops in Brixton. He was born in South London and has been living there ever since.
Jane Baker 37, Scotswoman, arrived to London twenty years ago to study. After her first year at Lambeth College, she met Frank, while visiting Kew Gardens for the first time in her life. He impressed her by friendly approach and help with finding the cutest parts of Kew. Then they developed a loving relationship.
After finishing her study, they got married and had three children. All the time she worked with her husband.
Now they decided they don’t need to work any more.
