The most cash I've ever carried
There'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.

Never my own money . . . .
Many years ago I worked for HMV (when they were at the top end of Union Street in Aberdeen) and as the Nat West was across the road instead of getting Securicor or someone to pick up the cash, a couple of staff used to go over with it. Had to go down a lane and round the back of the bank, ring a bell and be let in. As this was in the days before digital shoplifting and music stores actually still made money there could be a fair bit to bank after a busy weekend.
Always thought of elaborate schemes where my mates could mug me or something and we'd go halfers on it, but these schemes never came to fruition.
