We have a family rule, you can keep up to £5 of what you find. The rest goes into the "family tin" which in theory goes towards buying new play-stations/x-boxes but really gets spent in the pub.

She had probably flown back to Romania to pick up the other 30 in her family and fly them to the Seychelles for the month with all the money she makes from selling the Big Issue & her benefits she gets. She's got an iPhone FFS!!!Originally posted by mudskipper View PostThe Big Issue lady was having a day off. So it was me or MF - no choice really!

Probably around £1 Billion.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostTrying to steer the conversation to the morality of the subject, what sum of money would have made you think twice about keeping it and instead handing it into the authorities?

I saw him yesterday in Canary Wharf station.Originally posted by DaveB View PostRead a story in the Metro about a blind guy who makes a living busking in London. He whistles. When asked how much he earns he refused to say but then said he only works 4 days a week, has a house up north and commutes to London on the train.
Edit: Found a story about him on the BBC

And some of that story is true. She wasn't weeping, it was more a gentle sob.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostDidn't offer to share it did you?
For the record I was with mudflapper when it happened. She spotted it while crossing the road, stopped on the spot while I carried on walking. I looked back to see her with her foot on something, she was hovering looking nervously but with a manic smile on her face. She then whipped something up from the floor before holding it up, waving it and shouting 'Unlucky MF' and then giving the finger to some weeping old lady who was searching through her handbag.
And that's how I remember it.

So, how much does he earn now? Campbell avoids a direct answer. "All you need to know is that I live in Wolverhampton, travel down to London four days a week, employ a helper and I make a good living."
