if i had �100,000 to invest where would be the best place to put it and what would be the typical annual %age return?

When people ask about "investing" I'm never certain whether they mean SAVING it in a cash savings account, or INVESTING in the stock market by means of buying shares, unit trusts, etc.
I think the annual yields on Equity Income unit trusts range between 2.5 - 3.5%. On a good cash savings account you will currently earn around 6% before tax.
