Popular Post Paddywhack Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 The most I've found is £15 when I was walking with @Rob182. We were about 14 and I felt loaded. I gave £5 to Rob because I'm lovely and when I told my mom about my find she said "Well that works out well, you owe me £10". I still imagine my mom and Rob drinking champagne together, laughing at me behind my back. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided against the champers and instead bought a cheap bottle of wine with my £5 while we burnt your £10 and laughed while we drew tits on all of the photos of you as a toddler. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2019 I found £20 on the floor of a bar at Pride the other week. I spent it on gay stuff. True story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) I’d always think I’m on some secret camera show capturing how people react to finding money. I remember finding a tenner on the floor near my former place of work, sort of bundled up in a receipt. Quick e-mail round the office asking if the person who had just bought X,Y and Z could come by and see me. Anyway, the following day I won my office’s grand national sweepstake, only about £15-£20, but I took that to mean the universe was satisfied.

The normal protocol I use is: Bronze coins – leave well alone Silver & gold coins – have a quick look around to see if anyone about. If the coast is clear then discreetly pick it up. If not, walk on. However today I clocked a £20 note blowing about in the breeze. Without hesitation I found myself at full stretch like Gordon Banks 1970 world cup style after it. I’m not sure what pleased me the most; finding the money or my new found athletic ability. £1 coin in the minimum I will pick up. I've done well enough that I don't need to lower myself any further!

chrisp65 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 When super glue was first a thing we'd go down the prom on busy sunny days and glue a 50p to the floor and watch from a distance. Crazy times, man. Crazy times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I once found 5 pound in the chip shop and bought twice as many chips as I would have done anyway. But I felt full after bit and threw half of them away. Bloody great day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seat68 Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 When I worked at Butlins I found a wallet full of cash. I was on a little over 40 quid a week back then. I found a wallet with well over 500 notes in it. No witnesses nothing. I spent that mother **** and lived like a king. I didn't it was somebodys holiday money, I made sure it was returned to them. They were in tears over it and I was a god for a week. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bickster Posted June 7, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 The missus was on a training course today so suggested we meet in the city centre to do food shopping, I went along with this to keep the peace and thought I'd just suck it up I also didn't have to pay my car rental this week as I was owed for a few favours done, so I was a bit flush Imagine my uttter pleasure to find my usual vinyl emporium still open. I'm no longer as flush as I was but much happier than I was I turned up to meet her with a bag of new vinyls, that'll teach her to have silly ideas that I feel compelled to go along with And yes of course she's under the impression that it was only a couple of records that I'd had on order (like shite it was) 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My sister is currently the national manager at a retail company that pulls in tens of millions annually. She started as a casual front of shop assistant. Proud of her. Anyway, she's at a crossroads. Her boyfriend is moving overseas to take a job that pays a mid-six-figure salary, and she is considering relocating to go with him. The only concern I have is my sister compromising her own independence and talent in order to pursue this man, whom she has known for a matter of weeks. A friend of my sister had the same concern, and he happens to be an accountant at a major retail company, you might know of David Jones. Well, he took it upon himself to arrange my sister to meet with the powers that be at David Jones to take on a role that would be an upgrade on what she currently does. As an older brother, especially considering we didn't have a father in the home growing up, it's great to know that people have her back and support her future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a great experience for her. I've not met him yet, but if he's captured the heart of my sister, well I'll just say I've got a lot of confidence in her powers of discernment. There's a lot to consider (for her, and I'll leave her to that unless she asks for my input), but I know how well loved she is here and how much she has going for her. Anyway, the point was mostly around her friend arranging the David Jones gig, just as a gesture of appreciation if she does decide to stay here. Heartwarming.
