Being a cabbie, I take a 'float' bag of change out with me....no idea how much is in it....but noticed it getting a bit heavy lately....so decided to sort it out...

Just shy of £90 in coins 

£55 of that (because of amounts you need to put in bank bags) is off to the bank tomorrow, the rest can stay in the 'float'

But i can see it now.....next week, everyone will give me notes....and the remaining £35 will disappear rapidly

Brings back memories of nights out when I was young. I always paid with a note and the next morning I had a fortune in coins.

Mine isn't a million miles from that as well as the pound coins and shrapnel, I try to keep a few fivers and a ten to hand, as invariably the first fare after you have been to the bank will give you a £20 for a £3.80 fare

When I first started, I encountered one chap, trying to show off to the girl he was with, who presented me with a fifty for a £4.20. First job of the night as well so didn't have £45 in change

The girl ended up paying

Impossible....we aint that cheap 

I refuse £50's unless the fare is at least £25 even if i do have enough notes to change it

How do you know the notes people give you are genuine  Like the shops use those special pens

You can usually tell, by the feel of the paper.......never used a pen and never had a note refused at the bank

my wife takes all my loose change when I dump it out at night - ladies love bits of shrapnel which is why they take so long to pay for anything - getting rid of all the s**t

Amen to that

Me neither to be fair though, photocopied twenties are pretty easy to spot

never been a problem for me.
Mrs(ex)Egg is/was incredibly jealous.
I certainly wasn't allowed to carry images of any other women -
such as pictures of the Queen

Its generally easy to tell, if you handle notes a lot.  Even I can still tell, and I haven't worked in retail for 25 years.
