Money money money.
How are you about money? One of the contractors in the pub was shocked when he came in to my office and saw a few grand lying around on the desk after the busy weekend, and said I should be more careful. I guess after all this time handling cash I just sort of forget that it's actually terribly valuable. Do you carry a lot if cash? I see guys in the pub quite often with huge rolls of twenties that are ripe for a good mugging.
I'm a bit funny with my own money, I have to have at least a fiver in my wallet or I get worried. Do you have a thing?

Alt; smelly smelly why are you so smelly.

Altalt. No.

4 years ago I pinched a Peroni glass from a pub as i still had a half pint to drink and we had to go.

when you have a lot of cash at work, it just becomes bits of paper
when i was a letting agent, lots of people paid rent in cash, so there could be thousands in the cash till some evenings. it just became another admin thing.

that being said, i think there is a raw temptation to cash that doesn't exist with cards or other forms of payment. eg when my dad was a bank director, they had an issue where one of the clerks left £1k in cash on the desk. it disappeared.

next day the cleaner, who had been working there for 5 years and was scrupulously honest (she also cleaned my parents' house and never touched a penny), brought it back in. she was sobbing and said that they were terribly in debt and she just couldn't resist it. it was horribly sad.
