| 1157017 | 2010-11-27 20:10:00 | Done the same thing myself with a cheque book atop my my Austin 1100 , natural thing to do is put the stuff on the roof while unlocking the door | prefect (6291) | ||

| 1157019 | 2010-11-27 21:03:00 | I wonder if he had paid himself interest on his savings :banana | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1157020 | 2010-11-28 18:13:00 | The article kinda suggests he had saved 2000 pounds per year for over 40 years, and was carrying all this lot around... unless they have 500 pound or 1000 pound notes, then this guy must have been carrying quite a bale of paper! Which leads me to conclude there's some exaggeration going on. Have to confess, I've driven off with my wallet on the roof of the car... right after filling the darn thing with $500 bucks! All I got back was the wallet and cards. No cash. |

| 1157021 | 2010-11-28 18:22:00 | No exaggeration needed; assuming it's all in £100 notes, that's only 800 of the things over 40 years (20 notes per year). 800 notes in anyone's currency is usually small enough to be crammed in a decent sized pocket. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1157022 | 2010-11-28 19:32:00 | Probably all in 50's as that's the biggest value note over there. At least it wasn't all in Euro's worthless piece of currency | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1157023 | 2010-11-28 20:34:00 | The price you pay for stupidity. I would prefer a 1000 euros to a 1000 pounds. |

If the Aussie housing bubble pops at a "rapid" rate in the near future, I will be looking at our mostly Aussie banks very closely. Millions of people lost there life saving in Argentina through there banks only about 10 years ago, it happens. |
