Two of them usually come once a month. One came on his own yesterday. i asked him, where his mate was. He said, he phoned him, monday morning, saying, he wasn`t coming to work anymore. He had won £250,000 on the euro lottery. Good luck to him.

I get emails every single day - about winning some lottery in England, Spain and sometimes even in Africa - I never open them - maybe I'm a millioner - and don't even know it Laugh Out Loud

The guy quit with only £250,000?? After paying taxes on it and even after the exchange rate, that kind of money would last only about three years over here. We also have the idiots who could spend that in less than an hour.

If I won a quarter mil, I could pay off most of the mortgage, but I'd still have to work.
I'd need at least twice that to quit.
It costs over £3K a month overall to run my family...

If I won £250k I'd be knob in hand on a one way ticket to Cuba.

yeah, £3k is about spot on Paul. Three kids, two cars, £1k+ mortgage, right?

Yea, but as a window washer I'm willing to bet you'd quit and find something else to do...

I wouldn't work that job with that kind of money at hand.

Two years ago, yeah.
Now the mortgate is up to £1350 a month & there's 4 kids. To use strict fiscal terminology, I'm buggered... Smile
