Under the mattress...

[Jacqueline]

Years ago when I lived in Wealdstone.  There was a house I passed on my way to the High Street. looked derelict, overgrown front garden, blackened windows with ragged curtains, you would never have thought anyone lived there, but I found out later someone did.  The old chap died and when they went in to clear the house, I was told that there were piles of cash in hiding places all over the house, even cash in the oven, it all came to quite a large sum apparently, fancy living like that and having savings?

[Scrumpy]

That is so interesting..
Have read a few stories of people living alone.. No sign of wealth or comfort..
Only to find they are indeed wealthy.. Usually some long distant relative who never knew she had a great aunt Mabel will inherit thousands..

Great. I don't know about any great aunt Mabel. When do you reckon my cheque will arrive? 

[Scrumpy]

Cheque.!!!   Who does cheques any more..!!

[Michael Rolls]

I do - although nothing like as often as used to be the case

I don't if I can help it but should one turn up for a few hundred thousand I'd likely get of my butt and take it into town....

If you have a few you CBA with Scrumpy countersign and post them to me. I'll do a bank transfer. For the stamp.
