Buy a flash car (BMW M5 or something, enough seats to get my mates in though)... Go and pick my mates up... Then go and buy more flash cars (Astons, Ferraris, Porsches etc)... Maybe a couple of nice bikes too (motor and mountain variety).

Then on the way home from my shopping spree, I'd begin to worry about where the hell to put all my new purchases... So suppose I'd go home via a couple of upmarket Estate Agents, end up looking at some nice properties in the country, with a bit of land, garages, space to really let rip with my new toys etc...

Which is exactly what most people would do, right?

Oh, and on the 2nd day, i'd go book myself a right good bloody holiday... Me, my mates, bikes and snowboards, and just blow a load of money having a shitload of fun for a couple of weeks... I'd then worry about the remaining £43m when I got home 😉

An island with very high ground, a boat - likely a stealth-type eco one like the anti-whalers are using near Japan, and a helicopter. Then, I'd build an eco-fortress to shelter myself and my family from the shit-storm that's a-comin', and stock it with all the necessities and comforts for survival.
Once that's ready, I'd go on a leisurely trip to see friends and family around the world, and show my child the wonders that it contains, all the while learning new things, volunteering for good causes and donating to charities.
Upon my return I'd buy a small distillery - rum or whisky - and have a massive party.

'kinell - 45 MILLION pounds? Can you even begin to get real with that?
I hope they use it well.

An industrial unit near my house, many lorry loads of dirt and a JCB type thing.

After that, a helicopter and pilot for dropping me and bikes off on top of hills.

It would be nice to watch the look of terror some some wasaky accountant's face when you tell him you're going to *blow* a million or so on just shite. Yes, invest this much, buy property with this much, blah de ****ing blah. I'm now going to withdraw a million which is going to get completely wasted on bobbins. I'm going to give some to tramps, spend 50k on getting a single blow job, buy a range rover and then torch it, just for a laugh. I'm going to buy perfect strangers free ale all night and drop a grand on dobbin the three legged blind donky in the 3:40 at Ascot.

What do you think of that you penny pinching tosser?

He's probably laughing his head off already mate, cos you as a taxpayer have already bailed out the bank he works for (which he helped get in a state in the first place), and are now helping contribute towards his nice fat annual bonus again already!

He'd probably join you in dropping a grand on dobbin in the 3:40 at Ascot, though the other suggestions might be a bit rich for him 😉

Edit - that made no sense.

I'd buy lots of nice bikes and a big motorhome to put them in...

Although the first thing would probably be something like a chocolate bar...

A tractor. A big one. Always fancied a tractor. Probably a blue one. And a field to drive it in.

Me?

Get the cheque book out and write away to my friends and immediate family, no mortgage or whatnot worries for them!

Grab a mate of mine and we'd go car shopping... nothing too flash as that's not my style, RS4 Avant / R8 (v10) then house shopping.

Then the pub with a few friends 😉

Boringly, my current house (as in clear the mortgage). Do the same for [i]immediate[/i] family; maybe some intrest free loans to the others, but not bank rolling them all - where do you otherwise draw the line?

Then a bloody big plot of land and employ a trail crew to do the grunt work for me.

Then build a new super dooper house on said land, that I would have had time to think about and help design.

Then another place in the 'proper' mtns - Alps of Rockies, maybe both.

Few bikes, skis etc.

But to be honest, I could only get to about 20-25million with investments etc and then they'd be enough to live more than comfortably on for the rest of my life.

So, I'd give away the rest; although it would be hard to work out who to give it to over another.

i'd open a few schools in partnership with the government, much like that **** Vardy is doing up north with his 'faith' schools. i'd then be able to influence the curriculum and try and change the mindset of a generation away from "want want want" to "need".

i'd also like to fund a guerilla campaign against the motor industry, the pharmaceutical industry.

i'd also buy myself a plot of land where i could set up a commune with those people i know and love the most. it would have to be mountainous though. might buy up a valley somewhere in the alps. süd tirol, perhaps; long summers, big mountains and little snow below 1500m and year round ski resorts at 3000m means year round biking and boarding.

would also make contact with people i've met and help out where possible.

Ride day in day out around the world

Another would be to turn a large mountain in Wales into a massive bike
park, that has the meanist DownHill sections and tracks to hold World Cup
and Bang on long flowing single tracks.
Complete with Gondalas
Free parking
£ 2 quid a day towards supporting the local economy

i would turn up to work in a "super" car every day (have a year contract to hold out on)

then set my own bike company up and employ my mates. buy a pad in hills some where with my own Trails and skate park/bowls.

Clear debts for us and immediate F&F and those I've met that have had a positive impact on life.
£2 million to the Forget Me Not Trust - local charity looking to build a children's hospice - 2 mil is the build cost.
After that travel the world in a backpacking stylee - with the occasional stop at a nice spot to rinse me sandals....
All to give me time to work out what to do with the rest.....

I have always said the first thing I would but is a Lambo not sure which one I would have to test them first. Then I would start looking at houses.

Realistically the first thing you buy isnt going to be a house because they take so long to go through.

I would help relatives with housing but that's all as they will need to work to fund everything else. Although they would probably get other perks from me having the money.

I would probably keep working otherwise I would get really bored plus I have an interest in the company I work for so it would be daft to stop. But I would buy myself a stake in the firm and a lot of extra holiday.
