wifeb3ta post down there a bit .. reminded me I did something like that in the 80's
only we carried the cash to the sub post offices in a normal post van, as part of our run.. and before this rather stupid idea was stopped (after somebody leaked that we were doing it and a van got hijacked) we had maybe 3 or 4 standard posties bags filled with cash, stamps, postal orders in the back along with this weeks leaflet drops and normal post.... anyway, one week the van broke down and i was told by my boss that I had "special clearance" to use my own car, and that they would "hire" it from me for the day, and fill it with petrol..
happy days... except this is northern ireland, it is the middle of the hunger strike period and i have to drive into bandit country in an umarked car with £30 grand in the boot, we did not have any "ID cards" as such just our post office uniform, and a little armband with "post office" on it for the part timers.. (and from a distance, the "boyo's" had been known to mistake us for cops) That was a very interesting trip. Not least of all the look on the faces of the various chaps I met at the security checkpoints on the way in when I opened the bags to let them see what was in them..
but for that I got an extra £10 that week, my car filled with petrol and a "danger allowance" of 5p an hour.
