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.

Not very much by standards on this board...... But, when I was 16 I worked for my uncle in London as a labourer... It wasn;t much money but I didn't have to pay for food or board so all the money i earned was mine... ALL MINE!
On my return to Newcastle I had amassed a whopping £900 for making teas and carrying heavy tools up Bermondsey high rise flats...
As soon as I got off the train I walked to the bus stop to go home and a tramp came up to me and chatted to me about all sorts of bollocks... being 16 and naieve I didn't expect the "got any spare change?" at the end... But sure enough he asked it!....
I dipped into my pocket.... put my hand on cold hard £50s (the only time ive ever had them!) and my eyes popped open and my jaw dropped as i realised i had no loose change...
I felt like utter shit! looking this guy straight in the eyes and said "erm... sorry mate I've only got £50s" He thought i was taking the piss and stormed off in a huff!

apologies for length / girth... the usual shit!
