There'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.

but when I left Japan, I took all my savings out in Tokyo and bummed around all day looking for somewhere I could buy Traveller's Cheques. In Japan people seem to always carry enough money to put a deposit on a small house - due to the fact they only recently have invented an ATM which stays open after the bank shuts and they refuse to use credit cards.....
I blogged, I am so so sorry.
Point is. I felt safer there in that city with a mega-wodge of cash, and in most of Asia and Russia, than I do in Glasgow with a fiver.

I prefer a decent subject to write about but part of the fun is trying to come up with a tale or anecdote when the subject is really dire.
Except for that "Teenage Poetry" QOTW. Man that sucked big-time.
Cheers

A good story is a good story whatever the subject, no?
I like the slightly more challenging questions as it limits the number of responses, and the quality of 'best of' is still always as good.

if you try to pay for something in pennies, the shop is entitled to refuse your money if you want to give them more than 11p in pence...

...actually, it is a bit shit this week but hey-ho - can't match everone's taste every time I guess. As you can see though, opinion differs on the subject :D
