Does anyone actually keep their money at home under the mattress?

Ive often heard of people burying gold sovereigns in their back yard. Again not that simple to steal or find even and pretty safe . EIther way its not that great an idea to store more then about 10% in cash or metals if you dislike the paper stuff

And most of those people tell no one incl their family so when they move out, the next guy finds the gold buried in the back yard asn the ones left behind didn't knwo to look there. My FIL had money stashed in his house and it was foudn by family members. But no one dug up the garden. I wound't have pout it past him I can assure you he was a gardening type in his day.

Go round there in the middle of the night and dig up the garden !

I always have several hundred in the house. Usually about a hundred in my wallet and the rest for emergency use and hidden in the places my cousin the copper told me were the best places which burglars, or anyone else, would never look.
Scuse me if I don't tell you what those places are
