I agree: can't be a bad thing though, after all it is litter!

Just made the final count-up: £20.17p for 2009

-£0.44, and 5 centimes, that's right minus 44p, after losing that £5 that threw me.

My sister is a teacher.
She tends to be one of the last to leave in the evening.
As she walks across the playground she picks up money.
We are not talking about a posh area, quite the opposite.
In her car she has big pot and is never short of a coin for a meter.

What is it about teenagers that makes them so stupid?

[There used to be a guy who picketed the offices of the Daily Mirror. Maxwell in a rash moment had said that the paper would no longer publish tobacco adverts; until the accountants pointed out he would bankrupt the business.
So the picket had a bicycle made for 20 to carry a long low poster about lung cancer & two faced publishers.
When interviewed about how he was surviving all summer, kipping with his bike near by; he said the replacement of paper money with pound coins was brilliant as they did not "tinkle" when dropped so in the evenings he went scavenging for dropped money.]

Sparky0107 reporting in. I've just counted the contents of my road change jar started 1st April 2009 I've picked up a grand total of £46.26. This will pay for an MoT for my scooter £27.00, road tax £15.00 and leaves £4.26 for a tank of petrol. My new road change collection starts 1st April 2010, lets see what I can pick up this time!

always scan the floor for money since I was a child (used to regularly find notes in Cambridge - since I've moved to Leeds....not so much!).
