Sharebrokers won't take cash anymore either, something about money laundering.

more to do with banks having ways of collecting on money in their possession most likely.
theiving cunts.

Bingo.
Paid a bill that was more than that last week and had none of that bs though.

Once cheques are gone though we're at their mercy. I've been whinging about it for ages but it is so worrying and frustrating.
Hate banks more than politicians.

I once went with a mate to pay and pick up a bike he'd arranged to buy. Paid in coins, biggest were half crowns - 2/6d or 25c - from memory it was something like 200 quid - $400.
i did say quietly to him when I picked him and the coin up that he could have changed it first...he just gave an evil grin and said, fuck that...

I would've told him to fuck off just on principle. Do you think evil grin guy would find that funny?

Nothing that exciting sadly. Picked him up from the airport, turned out to be an Asian student. $20k in 4 neat ANZ logo'd bags gave extra reassurance, but I still checked. So much cash some of those kids.

And no, I didn't keep the bag. Wasn't sure what else it had lugged over the years...

Asians often have a bad habit of carrying around wads of cash which can make them a target. I remember getting 5k to buy a van and virtually sweating the whole time, could have had a sign hanging around my neck. Guess I wouldn't do good as a professional poker player.

I was kind of thinking about `Lock stock n 2 smoking barrels ` classic underground Brit movie

In fact you're going to have to work very hard to stay alive. Try find it, not sure if it made the US rounds, kinda doubt it.

All of which are fucking excellent.

I saw Rock n Rolla on the big screen 7 years ago in NZ and had heard of the other two. They're not too underground these days.

That's just a pathetic excuse. If you read the rules (which sadly I have had to) there is no restriction about accepting cash: just some reporting and declaration and whatnot. As long as the money is legit then they're fine. All they are doing is going "I cannot be arsed handling this and being responsible for it.".
