To answer the question of if I knew for a fact that NO ONE would know I had taken the cash, kirk... Of course I would take the cash .

BUT that sort of money in cash can only be from something very dodgy.

We had a guy a year or so ago constantly trying to use almost-expired £50 notes from the late 1980's... 30 year old notes, but they were as crisp as a brand new note . And they were genuine. Refused them though. I was like "FFS I'm not touching that! And I also do NOT want to know where you got it ".

To the emboldened.

To the bit about the guy with the £50 notes - Aren't they worth ANYTHING? Will the banks take them or are they collectable? If so I would have offered him a £5 for each one.
