One Rich Person
It's an obscene amount of money (£260,000). What would you do if you were the winner?

It wouldn't change me - but it would sure change my lifestyle.
I know I'd want a buy a nice house somewhere by the coast - maybe have one specially designed for me.
It would be great to no longer have to worry about paying the bills or buying the cheapest foods/goods.
Put some in trust for my daughter, be a little philanthropic and just watch the interest build up

@Mav, Sorry a slip of the zeros, you are of course right.

Artmo, are you safe where you are ?
I have relatives in South Carolina, they always seem to be near these events.
Looks like relatives in Toronto may be affected this time too.
(I went to Walt Disney World in Florida, the week after Katrina, not much obvious damage on site, just lots of fallen trees)

I believe that it's important that the UK gets ahead again. For some reason ministers in this country have become very complacent with technological development disappearing from the UK and this is not right.

Quote from: Sprite
I think I'd setup a R&D place for new technologies and engineering projects for both researching new in-house stuff and helping others to make their ideas a reality.
I fully back this.
Brian Cox last night praised British Inventing, Science Britannica BBC2.

(And.... I worked with D:Ream during a Live Blue Peter from the Science Museum !)
(Before Tony Blair hijacked the song...... "Things can only get better" !)
As David Cameron also praised British Inventing recently, at a G20 Presser.

Something must be done to change this. When I was a kid new inventions, tech, engineered things were something you would 'WOW!' at. These days people think you're a nerd or freak if you admire something great - I think this is very sad. If we look at China they pride themselves on having 100+k engineers graduating every year and creating new stuff. All the best tech now comes from that country including the flatscreen TVs in homes that have them.
I like the way that James Dyson has an award for people inventing new stuff too. There aren't many folks left in this country inventing stuff compared to generations ago. Sure, you'll always have backyard sheds with people trying but the percentage of them that will be successful will always be pretty low and with a low percentage of those types of people left, that number of successful people will be even lower.
My dream would be to setup a R&D company that does its own in-house R&D but also helps others to make their ideas real by providing facilities (workshops, tools, technicians, designers, accomodation etc) and financing to make these things a reality.

There really is no need to always quote other posters. Regular forum members find it unnecessary.
