Just theoretical, but just imagine you had that much to spend, guilt free.

Invest? Pay off mortgage? Coke & bacon fries?

Pimp myself to earn an extra 50pence, then blow £2 on a lottery ticket to make some serious money......

Far too large a sum of money to comprehend being able to spend it all.

Easy. Sainsbury's chewy granola slices. Not sure what I'd do with the penny change though.

^^^How's that "Draught" cider when it's in a bottle?

The £1.50? Half a pint of Doom Bar. Draught, from an actual tap in an actual pub.

Right now, Scone from our canteen, and 55p to invest, (or more likely save and add to another 40p tomorrow)

How is that draught cider, it's in a bottle?!

edit - beaten to it.

I've just put it in the 'Cakes for breast cancer" box that's on the office dining room table. And had a nice muffin.

Liking all these suggestions, in the old days £1.50 would have got you a copy of Razzle, which would be my suggestion, but sadly those days are gone..

I didn't know there was a biography of Johnny Brigg's dog? To think I've missed it and all for the lack of £1.50...

Invest it until it reached 2 quid then spend it at Glentress car park (top) and so berm baby berm as many times as an hour allowed.

It's the cider that they sell on draught in pubs, bottled.

Proper chips or a bottle of Czech larger or a lottery scratch card ticket.

I prefer lottery scratch card ticket.

Knowing me I'd earmark it for something good but then the other half would spend it on nappies (1/3rd or a pack anyway).

Probably tastes better out of a glass bottle than out of a metal keg. 😉

how come the scottish sounding posters are doing pictures of lard-orientated foodstuffs?

if it was me, I'd get one fiddy worth of the most mature cheddar they got.

I'd buy a laser pointer from a pound shop, then travel back in time a few hundred years (avoiding the witch-hunt bit) and become a minor deity. on my way back, I'd use the 50p to fill the petrol can I'd stashed in a medieval bush...

You've answered your own question there.

Going rate for chips and curry round here is about £2, give or take a few pee.

Soup and a roll from works canteen

or

0.016 of a gram of coke and 1/50th of a hand job (I imagine, based solely on, probably outdated, literary references I hasten to add)

It's not. It is Draught Cyder.

Me, I'd buy a nice selection of vegetables from the local greengrocer.

Send it to the Inland Revenue. They'll only get hold of it eventually, anyway.
