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.

38 grand in mostly 20'sWe had a large extension added to our house, around £40,000 worth and the builder 'prefered' to deal in cash (and we got a good discount), so once a fortnight, I would trot off to the bank in the High Street and ask for £9,000 in cash. Always took a couple of thick carrier bags with me, I'd then walk back to work and stuff it in my briefcase and take it home for the builder. The only slightly worrying thing was the teller in the bank would talk rather loudly, as he was confirming and counting out the money (shhhhh) and I'd look around the bank furtively as he was counting ....
Length & Girth fine - I'm disconnected .....
