I'd do the usual new car/house/travel etc.
But what I would do is, go along to my local parish/town council meeting here in Maltby. A staunch 'no doubt', 'always will be' labour council. I'd reiterate that I'd lived here all my life. That my roots are here. That my uncle sits on the council now. That my great grandfather sat on the council alongside the councillor who's name is on the front of the hall.
I'd tell them I'd love to spend my fortune improving things in Maltby
But that because of my experience of their arrogant, ignorant, self promoting attitudes, (seen over the last 30 years) I'd be too wary of decisions as to how it's spent getting into their self serving hands.
With that a "Bye bye, I'm off with my cash."
With a couple of mill I'd probably get somewhere on the edge of a national park, but close to a city. Somewhere with plenty of land. Fill my time with the wife kids, running with the dog, cycling, climbing, open water swimming etc. I'm sure I'll find other activities too

Yes I can, Yes I am, Yes I did...Repeat.
I'd also make 'proper' donations to the churches and fire stations in tje USA that let.me sleep.there this summer.


Also buy my son his first house, car etc...

Then I'd buy up bianchi and issue free bikes to all regukar cc'es.

Buy Northampton Saints and close them down.

Mean? Moi?

Seriously, I would wave the cheque under the nose of my bank manager and tell him with glee that I am going to deposit it elsewhere. Then pay off my debts and move somewhere far away. Like Mars.

TBH... After 45 years of NHS dental care, I reckon I'd go for the full private treatment and get a shiny, Hollywood smile

Oh, I forgot, before I left my work, I'd buy them a couple of new electric trucks, and buy our current one, Beryl, as a present for NT. I often wonder whether he comes to see me, or her... ;)

Retire, get the wifes knee done in USA properly so she can cycle again, buy her the bike of her dreams then sort the family out with a nice cheque each and then move to a nice pad in the Lincolnshire countryside and probably open a bike shop to keep the funds flowing and employ a few younguns and show them the ropes in cycle mechanics, and live the rest of my days cycling around the UK and enjoying life ...........oh and have a spanking new XJ
