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.

A guy i used to work with....I used to work with a guy in a well known electrical retailer (could have doubled as an Inidan Takeaway.....). He was deputy manager. However it was quite clear to those "in the know" that this was just to keep the tax man happy, and that infact he had a far more lucrative "side earner", which involved the distribution and sale of some mysterious white powder.
Anyway, he'd ammased this months small fortune and decided he wanted a TVR. So off he went to the TVR dealer or whatever it was, with £20,000 in fifties. Apparently they were talking to him like he was scum because of the way he was dressed, thinking he was trying to blag a test drive. Til he said "The 350 out front....i'll have it" and opened his briefcase.
As an interesting side note, they promissed him they would sort out the transferal (and making up new sets) of his personal plates for him (least they could do eh?). They kept fobbing him off for 2 weeks with "they'll be done tomorow....the next day.....not til tomorow". So he went to B&Q and bought 2 tins of paint, walked into the show room and plonked them down on the customer service desk. Didnt open them or say anything, just stood there smiling.
His plates were done within 15 minutes.
