Post by DeePost by Tricky DickyNot that I have got that sort of money. Sadly I would do the obvious and
buy a nice suburban property and install a top-of-the-range home cinema
system and buy a posh car - probably a Mercedes SL
Anyone anything more imaginative? Donate it to Lenny Henry for instance?

Go to Japan and fritter it away on gadgets and games - after buying a new
house and a few of cars (a TVR, a Beetle and a Porsche people carrier
thing).
Bit boring but pay off the mortgage, wouldn't want to move cos we like
it where we are, so that's 150k gone.
Buy a house in Stoney Creek Ontario where we are moving in 4 or 5
years time. That would be 100k or so for a three storey 4 bed with a
decent bit of land.
A new BMW 3 series would be nice, especially as some little b'tard
keyed mine a few days ago and one for her indoors too so she can stop
making me drive a 206 all the time!
The biggest plasma screen i can get for both houses or a roll down
projection system, and a bang on wireless home emtertainment setup.
A car for my eldest who is just starting his driving lessons. Driving
lessons for the younger one as soon as he's 17 and a car.
I'm more or less gadgeted out as I have just about everything I need
so I'd have to but some I don't need.:-)
That should leave me with about 400k maybe.
Then I think we'd just sod off and travel for a year to see all the
places I wish I'd gone and seen when I was young and had no ties.
