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.

GamblingWhen Frankie Dettori was riding the 1st of his 7 winners through the card a few ago, th elarge bookies I worked fir decided it might be wise to go and lay off as much as we could on track. So they picked the 3 most trustworthy people ith fast cars, and our brief was to take the cash they were about to give us and get on at as many bookies on track as we could.
Our director gives us a envelope each, about 4 inches thick.
"There's £20 grand a piece there. Get as much on multiples on Frankie's mounts through the race card as you can"
It's all f'ing £50 notes!! I cram as much in my pockets as I can and off to the track we go.
I got to the track in time for the 2nd race, and managed to get £4k on the 1st. Which left me with £30k in my pocket.
I got another £18k on with the bookies, then went back to work.
It saved our company about 1/2 a million in the end...
