Who was it, on here, that found money in the street on the way to work, and decided to keep a record for a year before declaring that he found
£137.00 and three purses!

Just wondered what happened to this "crock of gold" and this Walter Mitty of a Chit Chatter.

Only mentioning this, as I picked up a fiver outside the village shop, so I will post back in precisely one year, how it's going.

I found a fiver and wasn't ecstatic, but if I leave a pound, or token, in the gym locker I am suicidal!

Crazy, as I can loose hundreds on here and just write it off as a business expense!

There's nothing tighter than a Scotsman's grip on a five pound note.

When I was about 10, I went on an errand to the butchers for ma. On the way back, I found £3 in pound notes on the ground. I took them back home, told my parents, but gave them an incorrect location (on purpose). Thirty days later, the money became mine. I've wondered ever since if I should feel guilty but, seeing as dad did bugger all for me while I was growing up, I'm buggered if I should.

last year I found a handbag in a side street with over £400 in it, also a mobile phone and some jewellery, I decided to hand it in to the local KFC on the corner, while I was walking to the KFC the phone rang and this women said have you got my bag, I said yes and told her I would meet her in the KFC  in ten minutes, when she turned up she was an Asian with one of those burkas on, I gave her the bag and the only thing she gave me was a kiss

So....she left it in a side street....was there secluded wall nearby (and a discarded condom)

I decided to hand it in to the local KFC  ....of course....most people's first choice.

The kiss....did she slip you a bit of tongue ? (just asking)Blush

when I found the bag I quickly looked inside, counted the money, but I looked shifty with a handbag, the KFC is the most prominent building nearby, as for the kiss, she slipped her tongue through the hole in her burka

this women said have you got my bag

So there were more than one woman in the burka?

Well one of them must have had a very long tongue to get it through the eye slit!

I hope you realise that under Sharia Law she will be stoned and you will get two hundred lashes.

The only way out is to come up with a dowry and marry her.....Shocked
