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.

Not cash, but a cheque for £27millionI once worked for a property company which very, very occasionally sold a building.
One day the boss called me into his office and gave me an envelope. "Can you take this down to the bank for me?" he said.
So I put it in my pocket, got on the bus and went down to Nat West.
When I got there the cashier opened it and drew in a big breath, then went to get the manager.
It was an ordinary little corporate cheque but made out for £27 million for the purchase of an office building in Bloomsbury.
Ever since then those big charity cheques they hand over in photographs made out for £300 or something like that just look stupid.
