Many a dark night I have wandered the streets with that case attached to my wrist to deposit in the night safe of the local barclays bank. Often as much as £8k inside,( a fortune in the 70's) the only security a couple of stocklads and a tube of coloured dye which released if the chain was pulled. ( fuck the guy whose wrist it was attached to!!).

It was always attached to the managers' wrist. I never knew just how much cash was in those briefcases. They looked like the one I used for school.
Did you ever make conversation with Dire (Oldham Manager then) or Mort (Rawtenstall Manager) at the annual Kwiksave General Meeting for Managers (Rhyl Ritz Grand Ballroom), around late 1981?
Mort looked very much like his caricature in 'Mort the Shit Manager' and Dire an overgrown bulbous frog-like creature with a pallid smile (100 fake).
That is a new one on me, I must have been excluded !
