this may be the opposite of this weeks QOTW
but anyway..
I used to work at the Leadmill in Sheffield, a popular city centre nightclub, and during the night we used to find all sorts of things scattered across the dancefloor, from money, to wristwatches, to bank cards, and so on.
One particular saturday night, after the event had finished and the punters started to leave, the place looked like a bombsite, and we sorta picked an area to start sweeping.
Whilst I was doing this, there was a few lone punters who'd still not left the club yet, and one scottish chap approached me telling me that his wife had lost a pin badge of a dog, and how she was devestated blah blah blah, and to us it'd only be worth a fiver, but to her it meant alot, and 30quid was in it for us if we found it, he also stated that it was like a family heirloom or summat..

..y on earth would u take a family heirloom out on a night out?..

his wife was at the at the cloakroom, crying her eyes out with her mascara running down her face as if she'd lost a loved one at a funeral..
