    This, when I was a manager for a large IT company in West London, was always one of my last standard interview questions. I thought it showed people's dreams, imagination, hopes, creativity and aspirations!

    So many people could never even give me an answer, they obviously never got the job!

    I never cared what the answer was it was their dream and I respected it, got some strange responses, but those that actually gave an answer were always short listed.

    If I had the money, an alternative pub would be a dream. Lots of music (not just gigs but great playlists and occasional themes of goth, post punk, brit pop to mix it up). Pitch a good vibe and not too exclusive and not too Wetherspoons-esque.

    Aside from that, I'd love to write a book. Something thought provoking and insightful.

    If I were to be serious, it would be my own independent record shop. However the older I get, the more my clients would disappear as it appears the only way of having anything is by "airtime" and not the physical format, where both music and art can be appreciated

    Yeah, writing is another idea I've toyed with for my retirement. Maybe a course in creative writing first.

    Do it (although I'm not sure a course in speech writing for BoJo is relevant ;) ).

    I have to say that also I have my dream job now as I made the transition from designing pharmaceutical packaging to art direction

    It’s still exciting to turn nothing into something

    I wished I had been an airline pilot and trained for that. The Mrs said go for it and become a Kamikazi pilot. A football commentator would also be good dream job.

    I recommend reading 'On Writing' by Stephen King Strolls. You won't need to go on a course after reading that.

    When I was a kid living on the White City Estate I wanted to be a Milkman, because I thought they kept all the money they got.
    How about Jude The Cat.
