A salon boss continued to be amazed after the National Grid had an eye -catching heak, which gave £ 12.4 million in compensation water after a rapid raping at his company.
James Parker could not believe his happiness when the energy company wrote him fourteen days ago to say that he was entitled to no less than £ 12,423,397.60.
The 54-year-old, who is co-owner of Asembo Hijders in Stamford, Lincolnshire, did not even know that he would be entitled to compensation Laat is an eight-digit number.
He quickly started dreaming of a luxury lifestyle, hoping to leave the country and beat his family for a world's trip.
But unfortunately, James's hope for eccentric escapades soon came down when National Grid realized their mistake and instead sent him a check for £ 95.
The company blamed the incident of an 'admin error' and apologized to the salon owner for the mix -up.
James, who led the company with wife Natasha, 44, since 2013, admitted his disappointment after he temporarily thought he was a millionaire, yet 'grateful' for the compensation payment.
He also joked that National Grid might have fermented the hairdresser for Heathrow Airport, which was closed a few weeks ago after a fire in a nearby electric substation.

Instead, he received a £ 95 check to make the loss of power at the Asembo hooders (photo) in Stamford, Lincolnshire
James said: 'I struggled to read the song because it was so big – I had to add spaces.
'It was really one when you had to put glasses, because there were no commas or decimal points, it was hard to see how much there was.
'They said in the letter that the problem was not resolved within 12 hours – but I don't think we were open that day.
“I absolutely did not know that we were entitled to £ 12.4 million.”
He added: 'I am grateful for the last check and accept it as an apology for the power loss – although I would have accepted the apology faster if it was a check of £ 12.4 million.
“I am fairly forgiving!”
When asked what he would have done if he had successfully received £ 12.4 million, James joked that he would leave the country and keep the payment secret.
He joked that he thought about paying it on a money machine to prevent suspicions from being raised by bank staff.

James said: 'With the original amount I would have taken the family on a world trip, but with the revised amount I should just be able to manage a trip around the mid-lent exhibition for them.
“I thought I could bank and saw what interest I could get at £ 12.4 million.
'If I could erase it, there would be a few days of interest there. It will be more than the £ 95 they finally gave me.
'Most of them are around £ 1500 a day, something like that. It would be a lot.
'If I were to present it to the local bank at the cash register, they would have said that it was wrong.
'But if I did it on the machine, they would just process it without any human interaction.
“If I could have kept it, I would probably have disappeared very quickly to get away.”
A spokesperson for the National Raster Electricity distribution apologized for James for the administrative error and confirmed that no incorrect checks were sent.
They added: “We have since sent new letters that advise on the correct payment data and we will look at our processes to prevent this situation from returning.”
