    Or have you ever thought about running a railway line. I've always thought you were a bit like The Fat Controller*.
    Was that an autocorrect ??

      It's an officially sanctioned swear filter swerving technique, I'd have thought you'd have filed it away for future reference

          Got over a years warchest in the company account, rent from three houses and ten years worth of expenditure cover in the bank, which takes me up to early retirement where I have a decent pot.

          Fook I cant even be bothered to get out of bed to go and get a contract.

          Better do something I suppose. Any ideas?

          You can almost feel the waves of relief washing over the nation...

          What about another tat shop? You'll be just in time to open one in April, after that-what-we-can't talk-about-on-here has happened...

            Clearly you're not married and don't have any kids, which is why you can survive on the rent from 3 houses and why 10 years' worth of expenses is probably something like £500/month for you.

            Anyway, as for doing something: play Fortnite. It'll suck up the hours from your remaining days like you never would have thought.

              You can't retire on your pittance. You need at least 5 million in net assets.
              Anyway I know 2 people who retired in their 50s, having made millions. One died and the other one has gone nuts.
              Hard Brexit now!
