As part of his regular series of articles on sales pitch press releases tarted up as legitimate research, UTC was largely uninterested in a piece from gambling company Wink Slots stating that their research had uncovered the remarkable finding that 83% of Brits “would not tell their boss about a substantial lottery win”.
UTC wholeheartedly agreed with the 83%, mind you.
“I wouldn’t tell you because I wouldn’t be telling you anything because you’d never see me again”, as he unwisely said to his boss on a work’s night out after a few too many Grouse.
Unlike UTC however, it would take “at least £5.4m before the average Briton would give up their day job”. And you can just imagine his response to that.
