# How the badger song spread...
...before the internet was invented.

Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Mushroom

[edit] this took me far too long!

sorry to TJ but: does anyone know about banking laws? cause i've just looked at my account and found it has £14000 more than it should have!

Can i spend it? (please)

# nope
You'll have to transfer it into my account. Only then will you be safe

# Sadly no
a friend of mine had a similar thing happen and he spent it and nearly got bollocked.

basically if you KNOWINGLY spend it knowing it shouldnt be there, then you're fucked. seeing as we all know you know its not yours, you're totally fucked if you spend it.

an ISA

# you can only have a max of 7000 in an ISA
and only 3000 of that can be cash, the rest has to be shares and stuff.

# you can split it into 3 accounts
you could have a cash ISA for more instant access. I personally have a mini ISA which needs to mature for 5 years before i really touch it. Then I will buy a concorde so i can decoupage kittens to it.

# That's right
Pretend that you don't know about it. Ask your bank to transfer all of your funds into a high-interest account without asking for a balance. Wait for someone to ask for it back. I know someone who received £776,000 instead of £76,000 as a pension lump sum. Kept it for over a year made £18,000 interest.

# I seem to remember that
even though you have to repay money that isn't yours the bank has to treat it as an interest free loan so you pay it back at a nominal rate like a fiver a month.*

# That is true
but only if you spend it unknowingly. If you knowingly spend it then you are committing fraud, and they can do you (up the arse, if they wish).

interest, I don't see anything wrong with that :) Just don't go thinking you have more money then you actually do.

Nope, confess now, otherwise when you have spent it you might have trouble paying it back. That money is not yours. (This is true, I'm not taking the piss)

# ask for it in the form of a bankers draft and then put it in a saftey deposit boxz
that way, you haven't spent it, but it's not in your account for them to transfer out again.

if push comes to shove, you can give them the bankers draft back. if not, you'll have the money sitting on ice waiting for you.

but would be good investing it somewhere.....
I'd pretend you haven't seen it and spend away.

# I read about a bloke doing that a while ago
Dropped a fake junk-mail cheque (of the "you-have won-our-magnificent-prize" variety) and, to his shock, it got accepted and put into his account. Very well-written account of it online somewhere (googling now...).

I'm told that if you report bank errors in your favour, the banks often give some sort of cash reward. Probably about 50p, but at least you're still in profit.

# it's little tiny semaphore people
semaphore is a method of communication, in wich you you 2 flags, and each letter of the alphabet can be represented by holding the flags in various positons
the wee fellas on the top deck spell out the word "badger" and the wee fellas on the bottom deck spell out the word "mushroom"
sadly, the vancancy has already be filled, but we will keep you etails on file and contact you as soon as a similar position becomes available

Yours, Admiral Magic Badger
