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.

£2500.....every second of every day...My Dad....in all of his wisdom, thought a watch would be a nice 18th birthday present. It was..."It's lovely" I thought to myself as i opened up the box.
Two weeks later, walking through the Trafford Centre my then-girlie points out my watch in a shop window. Sure enough....£2500, Omega Speedmaster blady-blah blah......HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!
Cheers dad....i'm now bloody horrified.
Over the next few months i came to the conclusion that the absence of any digital screens or such would render it useless to chav types, meaning only old people know what it is....and i can drop most old people should they try to steal it. (well, not the few that are like Chuck Norris. He is one hard, old bugger...don't get many like him in Manc though) Still, it never leaves my side.
Frightened of losing it? Nope.
Frightened of the ass-whoopin my old man would give me? Yup. I'm 23.
Length? Yup...Girth? Yup.....but it is an Omega!
EDIT: Yes, i know...not technically cash. I make it 'on topic' by suggesting that i could wander into a pawn shop. Maybe.
