    Stockbrokers gave me £6m

    Great mistake, I did a trade as I do many times, and they miscalculated the sell price. Ended up putting over £6,000,000 into my broking account.

    Of course they took it out 1 day later

    Oh well, for once in my life I knew how it felt to be a multi-millionaire

    What was the interest

    On six million squid being in your account for a day!

      You had a whole 24 hours and the money was still in the UK? It should have been in the Caymans, and you should have been in Brazil by now

        I had a credit card bill from Morgan Stanley for £400,000 but apparently everyone who was billed that day had the same problem (billx1000) it was sorted out fairly quick.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          I think about £500 but not sure if I'll get that!
