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.

You know when your whole body goes cold with panicIt is the final day of my employment with Kwik Save (not today you understand, I am employing a dramatic narrative, bear with me)
My checkout drawer is being cashed up at the end of my shift by 'debbeh' and I am stood watching as is the custom.
'It's £200 short' says debbeh, giving me the evil eye.
Shit.
'Count it again', I say coolly. My blood turns to slush puppy.
She counts it again. £30 short.
'Count it again'.
It was dead on...thank christ for that. If I had to work it back on Kwik Save wages I would still be there today.
And that is the most money I have ever been responsible for - Kwik Save's takings for the booze, fag 'n oven chip consumption of the local population.
