Want to swap for my walk? I thought I'd found a pound outside someones door. So had a quick look around, no one about so picks it up.
When I stood up I stepped backwards and trod on a bowl of milk put out for the cat. The bowl smashed and I got milk on my shoe and trouser leg.
Put the money in my pocket and made a quick exit. Got away with it I thought. Well the customer never said anything to me but to make matters worse when I emptied my pocket later on it wasn't a pound - it was a euro. :Boo hoo!
