    It's a good job you don't live near me, otherwise, we'd be vying for dropped coinage :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    LOL!! we probably would.... I get really excited when I spot 'free' money...! I do get some funny looks, especially if it's in the road or gutter and there's cars going past! If anyone's with me and I pick it up, I just quote "See a penny, pick it up, and all day you'll have good luck". Works for me LOL!

    I am exactly the same. I was gutted the other week; I saw 10p on the floor on the bus and by the time I was able to get to it, someone else nabbed it.:rolleyes:
