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 exactly carried...just handledI used to work for B&Q (A diy store for those that don't know) on the checkouts. I served a customer one day that had placed an order. Total cost was about 6 and a half grand!!!....and he paid cash!!!...in 20's!!!!
We were supposed to check all notes under a UV light for forgeries. There was no way I was going to check all of those (it was about 15 minutes before closing). They also had this stupid rule about making sure that the notes were the right way up when put into the till with the queens head on the front. Stuff that....it would have taken me all night.
I just counted it to make sure it was all there...took ages....miscounted three times and had to start again...lol...and stuffed it in the till and gave the customer his change.
In case you're wondering....I did get ideas while I was there...I never did anything though...i'm too honest.
Now I think of it..I should have...bastards sacked me anyway for discount card fraud...which wasn't my fault.
I was also once pushing the floats from the tills down to the cash office after we had closed so a manager could put them in the safe.
Got to the cash office....just outside it....and one of the floats tipped over...spilling over £200 in change onto the floor...oops...took ages to pick up.
I need to go to the hospital...my cherry just popped and it's bleeding.
