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.

£26,000I had to pay my builder in CASH for the work he did on our new extension. This was the final payment. The day I had to collect it was in the middle of me doing Jury Service. I turned up in the lunchbreak of our trial, as arranged, at the bank in a street in a town unknown to me, and collected the cash. I returned nervously to the courthouse (in Reading) and had to submit myself to a search as they had tightened security there, since our case was one about fraud and bribery. The policeman found the package and asked what it was. He looked inside and saw the huge wedge and summonsed his mates. For some reason, finding a juror on a bribary and fraud case, with £26k in an envelope seemed suspicious to them. Fortunately, they phoned the bank who confirmed they6 had given me the cash and that it was from my approved loan for the building work. I was so very nearly in deep, deep shite.
