Ye think someone would give a postie a letter after telling them there is £100 inside? :d'oh!

but surely only an idiot would give a letter with a £100 in to someone else to post :crazy:

Only an idiot would send cash in the post in the first place.

I do the odd cover of some rural rounds, the regular guys pick up mail from peoples houses as do i, but some leave money beside the letters to buy stamps with i just leave them, for one i ain't standing in a queue waiting to buy stamps,even though you can get a recipt if anything went missing i'd get the blame.
