Mr Alex Fraser lived his whole life in a small town in the north of England. He never left the house where he was born, never married, never went on holiday and had no friends.
He worked in a local factory for over forty years but even the people who had worked with him for years knew very little about him. He wore the same old clothes year in year out, and although he shopped regularly at the local store he bought only the most basic foodstuffs, never changed he purchases from one week to the next.
So when he died last month, neighbours and local people were astonished to learn that Mr Fraser was not just a rich man , he was in fact a millionaire !
He had no money in the bank or invested anywhere but in the various drawers, cupboards and boxes in his house there were hundreds and thousands of banknotes and coins. It took the police over two weeks to clear the house, and bank clecks spent just as long counting all the money.
“We had absolutely no idea that he had so much money” one of his neighbours said. “In fact, we used to feel sorry for him, we thought he was a poor old man who was unable to afford anything better for himseft !”
