If I can into a fortune one day I would not be in work the next, or any other day ever again. I wouldn't even phone them to let them know where I was! :0)

If I did win multi millions on the lottery I would say nothing and do nothing different for about a year or two while I made sure I knew who my friends were.
I would then start up a little business as a front to cover for my extra spending ability and set up trust funds for all those I wanted to have a share of the money. I would be a secret millionaire.

Winning a huge amount would embarrass me. When I was at Royal Mail I used to spend ages thinking up elaborate schemes to share the money with my friends and colleagues, either by paying mortgages or just divvying it up into lumps.Night Train said:
Of course I don't ever do the lottery, so it's all a bit pointless even thinking about it...

although you wouldn't know it from my pay packet, i'd be quite hard to replace. i think sometimes that if i won the lottery i'd stick around knowing that they now needed me far more than i needed them, seeing what i could get away with in the process…

I do not give a sh*t about the company I work for, they would dump me tomorrow if they did not need me so I don't see why I should care about letting them down.
However, I work in a small team and we are all totally over worked so me walking out would have a real negative impact on the guys I work with.
In reality I do not know what I would do, the thing is, if I stayed, my heart would not be in it and the first "kicking" phone call I got from my boss over stuff I do not have time to do would prob result in me telling him what to do with his job and walking out.

I was talking to the area manager in the place were I am and I could see him thinking 'i'll be the owner and give my (his) boss some stress just like he does to him'...
From my angle...i dont know like i work in a small team 5 people me 36, 40, 40, 60, 60 & 49. all male and mechanics 'cept the area'manager and me admin.
As I am like I am id give everyone i know a few bob as ive met/worked some nice people in my time...and then weigh up my options...they'd more than likely to be elsewhere....lifes all about experiences and meeting new people & cultures. There are more nice people out there than not, then theres britain

I'd register with a driving agency and drive occasionally. But it really would be very occasional indeed.

//wrong side of bed mode on// I pay enough tax without playing some stupid lottery. And I object to queuing up to pay for a paper for 5 minutes behind a load of spackers that do. //off//

Great use of the word "spacker" there, Cheadle.

- ...I don't have much idea - really.
I would open a bar - with food, decent music and a really nice atmosphere. Woe betide anyone who wanted to be miserable.
On second thoughts, I could open a place for them too - and call it 'Bar Humbug'.
In Hamburg.
Selling Bundaberg.
etc...

I would work my notice. Only fair. Then I would be g-o-n-e with the wind (only without Scarlett O'Hara).
