Ilkeston_Fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 No... You're kiddin right? Afraid not mate. I was astounded to say the least. To her credit she's taken the endless pisstaking on the chin.
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 no it's true, there really isn't a man counting out the money ! Well I always thought he must have bloody quick fingers...

Ilkeston_Fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 and he would surely have tried to short change the drunks late at night Haha you've given this some thought haven't you
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 and he would surely have tried to short change the drunks late at night What, slipped out thirty quid rather than forty and hoped their double vision made one note into two? Nice ploy..
Zingari Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 What, slipped out thirty quid rather than forty and hoped their double vision made one note into two? Nice ploy.. I was thinking more along the lines of waiting until some drunk staggered up late at night for about £10 for his taxi home and adding an extra zero which would be more easily concealed or explained if it went wrong. He’d get the tenner and I’d trouser the £90 and it probably would be days before he realised. And no one would believe him even if it was on cctv . sometimes you just have to think big
