The most cash I've ever carriedThere's nothing like carrying large amounts of cash to make yourself feel simultaneously like a lottery winner and an obvious target.
A friend went to buy a car for ten grand, panicked and stuffed it down his pants for safety. It was all a bit smelly by the time he got there and he had to search around for some of it...
Tell us the story behind the most cash you've ever carried.

not much, but enoughi had to take £2k from a company i was contracted with for cash expenses. It wasn't insured so I'd be paying for it if i lost it.
Problem - home was via a very hairy part of Vauxhall, and my bag had no zip. So I did the only sensible thing.
Cash in the bottom of the bag, heaviest office paperweight on top of it - violá, cash is now instant smackdown weapon.
Then pull out my mobile, a shit one (perfect) and hold it to my ear. Then start shouting down it. Very loudly. And angrily.
Then I start running to the station.
You would be surprised how many dodgy types will eagerly make way for a tiny sprinting woman screaming expletives at a fictional assistant down a phone.
