If it has a picture of the Queen on one side then I believe its mine

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.

The Big Issue lady was having a day off. So it was me or MF - no choice really!

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!!!

any money I find like that I tend to donate to charity...its lost, not mine and they might as well benefit from it...

Trying 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?

Probably around £1 Billion.

Read 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

I saw him yesterday in Canary Wharf station.

Poor Sas, that's his weekly money for the bookies.

Didn'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.

And some of that story is true. She wasn't weeping, it was more a gentle sob.

Some of us here have it as a plan A

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."

Found a crisp twenty just sitting in the gutter. No-one around to claim it. Kerching!

BJ costs have sky rocketed in recent times

Why were you just sitting in the gutter?

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars

It's her Plan B.
