GSK have the highest security of any company I have to pick up or drop off at, all to do with the animal rights nutters...
 
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.

I'd enjoy being a postman, but my dream job (which would probably be reliant on a big Lotto win to see to fruition) would be to open a large record shop, focussing particularly on vinyl, with listening booths and a cafe during the day, turning into a bar with a stage to put on gigs in the evening. A lot to work on, but if money isn't an issue then this would keep me happy for many years
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.
