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.

About ten years ago…I worked for a high street bank as a cashier. At 10 minutes to 5 on my last day in the job, some guy paid in £50,000 in fifties. Apparently he had just sold his computer business and had carried the proceeds in a briefcase on the tube, not the wisest thing to do in North West London!
Anyway, after having to verify each note twice I was nearly an hour late for my own leaving do due to chucking the big bundles of lovely cash round the back office of the bank, yay! I know it wasn't my money but it was still fun!
I often wished people would tip us cashiers like they do bar staff by saying ‘Can I pay in this pile of twenties, oh and have one for yourself’!.........
