Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
This thread has always been quiet Sweetie, they all nod off every now and then, except when they get sudden spasms of inspiration then they hop on the keyboard quickly before they forget what they thought of.
Police raids, that must have been exciting, and I.8 million quid under the floorboards, so I’m not the only one who doesn’t trust the banks.
Years ago the banks used to pay you for holding your money now you pay them, and with them nearly going bust not too long ago I’d say there are a lot of people who sky away their cash these days, but under the floorboards is not a very good hiding place, there are far more inventive and safer locations about a property.
There are no laws to prevent people accumulating cash as far as I know, unless you can’t prove where you got it from, I always deal in cash except when buying stuff on the net, only problem with keeping large amounts at home for a long time is you’d have to keep a check on the bank note changes, but I gather if you produced an old white fiver from the war years the central bank would still have to pay you the face value of it. Do you remember when it used to say “I Promise to pay the bearer on demand” on the notes?
Personally If I had that kind of money I’d invest it in gold and diamonds and leave it in a safety deposit box, the annual fee would be well worth it in the long run, although a lot of the smart boy’s were caught out in that one a few years ago with the Hatton Garden job (April 2015), there is no such thing as absolute security is there?
