    For the purposes of the poll - a private plane - would be cool (if that includes a pilot in the price). Realistically, I'd keep the cash and bank it and go on holiday with the interest gained.

    My idea of pure luxury would be to hire my favourite artists to perform for me on a tropical island, while being fed sushi by gorgeous men in trunks. Where's the option for that, eh?

    We tried for you - managed to source everything but the sushi - so didnt put it in.... sorry! :(

    Being a tropical island, one of the men could show his prowess, and go fishing.

    None of the options appeal to me in the slightest

    .A. A Supercar. driving is an evil necessity and given the amount of traffic lights and speed cameras about you might as well have a Fiat Uno.
    B. Holiday Apartment. I don't want the hassle of maintain a home thousands of miles away. I also don't want to holiday in the same place
    C. A Helicopter. I'm scared of heights.
    D. Serious Bling. Fake is safer to wear and looks as good. Also OH used to be goldsmith so I'm a bit blase about bling.
    E. A Yacht. Don't like sailing.
    F. Chalet in the Alps. too cold and same reasons as holiday apartment
    G. Private Plane. What's the point if I don't have a holiday home to go to?.
    H. Total Plastic Surgery Makeover. I'm still getting old and it won't change my personality.

    None of the above have any relevance if you don't have good health or people who love you:confused:
    It's great to be ALIVE!

    I like skiing, and it's one holiday where you wouldn't get bored going every year, so probably that. The others are the sorts of things that would look a bit stupid without the associated riches.

    I'd have a fast car if I could have a track to go with it, but I wouldn't want one just to pose in.

    I reckon a swimming pool would be something I'd actually want if I could pick any luxury, because it's something I'd use every day. I love swimming, but hate having to spend all of your time dodging other people.

    Really wouldn't want any of those, but I went for the gold. Says nothing about not being able to pawn it.

    Given the choice I'd have Eric Cantona

    Don't rate any of them. Would rather have a nice cottage in a beautiful part of the UK (Lake District, Cornwall...) or even a barge on a canal, and then let all the relatives have the use of it.
    (Thought the Swiss Chalet would be nice, but we almost all have dodgy joints now!)
