Mattress money

I still live in one like that, petra.
Same happened to us, Coolgran.
However, I still have no idea what this thread is about.

CelticRose. If you lived in a country where the government were a bunch of crooked shysters, you would keep your money under the mattress. I have lived in one such country.

I wish we'd had our retirement money in the Bank of Mattress....under the mattress.... then we wouldn't have lost so much of it over the last few years when the bank was looking after it for us. There...

Eh? Now I am

You should have formed the wording in your post better Celtic. Trending "In the News" forum is an OP about paying taxes.

We have some old francs, dinars etc somewhere in a cupboard - does that count?

Only a couple of pounds' worth at best though.

Still

CelticRose said she'd just completed this survey before she started the thread, so I presumed it was to do with that - don't know whether there's a reference to 'mattress money' in it as I haven't done it myself!

I think Celtic is making a point about the black money not being presented to Inland Revenue(as recently mentioned in the news earlier this year) that needs to be addressed in order for us not to go the same way as the countries mentioned. Does anyone with Bank of Mattress have the right to vote, even! But who would know anyway. Who was it said, "the only two things guaranteed in life are taxes and death". Or something like that.

Me too please, despite re-reading it I'm completely !

Can I join the club?

Ana I must be really thick, as I still haven't got a clue !

It's really not a sensible thing to do, currencies change and notes become out of date. Banks change notes and get rid of smaller denominations to stop people hiding money I think.

I'm still confused!
But then I'm like Pooh!

Not annoying, just perplexing, as no one knew what this thread was about until you explained!

Thought it was me being unreasonable and missing a point. Not sure where to post. Please ignore - or ask Gnhq to remove if post is annoying.

Oops. Do - finger tripped up. It could also be need stronger specs.

Perhaps your post would have been better placed on the relevant thread, CelticRose?

I think its us that are missing a point???

I had just completed the GN survey. Would someone using the Bank of Mattress be entitled to do complete this survey? Who would know anyway!

Glad it's not just me.

And double !
