Nothing - literally! - unless you count the odds and sods of old currency leftover from trips abroad.
I don't believe in using cash, and generally have £30-40 in my wallet which will last me for weeks. I much prefer using credit cards and electronic payment methods. Anyone trying to burgle me is in for a surprise.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

As much as that? I rarely have any money in my wallet unless I know I'm going somewhere that won't take cards. I miss my Nationwide account for travelling abroad as it meant I could take out tiny amounts of cash ($10 or ... where the h~ll is the Euro key on this computer?) without paying a fee. Now I have to change money in advance and carry 100 Euros (where is that key?) for 2 weeks holiday!0 -

42 people have more than £10,000 in cash?
Wouldn't it be more moneysaving to put it in an ISA? Or are they not just moneysaving but taxavoiding?A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
Wow, so if you were to go burgling, you have a 1 in 50 chance of finding over £10,000 under someone's bed? No wonder crime in this country is so bad!
Wouldn't have much sympathy for the idiots who lost it mind you...0 -

That's just 2% of the poll. In any poll at least 2% of people will vote spuriously or randomly.Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc0 -
Would anyone who ticked £10,000 like to take me out? lol0
