Rich List 2019
Once again we see who is on this UK 2019 list, not just millionaires but all those billionaires!When looking at your income, either your salary or pension, depending on your present situation, just think of the worries of having all that money, be that £ millions or £ billions – how to get more, how to keep what you have, how to stop the tax man getting what should be paid?
Possibly alright for a while, until you get used to having whatever you want, whenever you want it.

If it happened to you, how do you reckon you would get on with being so rich, could you cope with it and how would you do this?

There's one glaring error in that report:Sir James Dyson and family - £12.6bn

HM also owns 200,000 acres of land as a private owner .....

Oh I'd open loads of trust funds, for starters, for all sorts of projects I'm interested in, to provide grants ands bursaries, etc., and start local groups, etc., all over the country, and abroad as well.That would be great fun!
Once I'd worked out what I would need to live and travel very comfortably for the rest of my life, I'd give the rest away.
Otherwise, when I die, the taxman would get a massive chunk of it, apart from anything else.
However, 50 years ago, a million pounds was really worth something. These days, in certain parts of the country, even a mediocre house can cost half a million.
Mind you, I wouldn't say no to a million. I could live nicely on that!
I suppose being a billionaire is the new millionaire now.
Just to confirm now, though, I believe it is official that our definition of a billion is the same as the American one? That is, a thousand million? And not what it used to be, that is, a million million?

Happens every time this information comes out the local postie starts growling at me because he feels over worked, because of all the begging letters that I start receiving.
I am polite to them all when I write to answer them.
I tell them straight I ain't got no loose change.

I agree with you and I can send the postie round to Longdogs with all those begging letters.
Save me a job writing all those reply's.
Might also be a good idea to send you an appointment to go to Specsavers whilst I am at it.

It's ok you are forgiven "Pyxell"
There are many more out there that do the same on occasions.
(If I may give away a secret)
That Longdogs fella is an impostor believe we have stood together in the gents at the local workman's club and he really ain't that long.

Once Longdogs got blasted by a member and it wasn’t even him that had posted it! It was Longfellow and he kept quiet!
It was awful but so funny.
