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.

Over £2000Back in 2005 I used to work for my local football club in London. I was only a lowly turnstile operator but...
...I used to have to take in loads of money for fans to enter the ground to watch the matches.
First day that I went there I had to go in a turnstile with someone else to 'learn the ropes' and at the end of the match there was over £2000 in the turnstile. I think it was like £1000+ in £10 notes and £1500+ in £20 notes.
On many occasions whilst I worked there I had at least £500-£1000 in the cash box.
In theory I could have arranged for someone to 'come along' with a gun or something and steal the box on a match ... then just pretend I'm the victim and act all innocent. Just if I did this.......
Oh well it was still a lot of money.
Oh and once when I was younger and at school some kid just said he had £100 and he gave me it all?!?!?!
Also, I used to work in a charity shop and sometimes I was asked to do the banking...one day I was just talking to some friends when I mentioned that I'd take sometimes over £500 to the bank and my friends thought about mugging me and splitting the money or something. Again it didn't happen ... never got round to staging it really.
I'm still not rich!!!!!!!!
