    Appearently back in the 80s there were many people doing money into the hand, does anyone have a bit of knowledge about the current climate?

    money in the hand is like two in the bush or something like that.

    I know a girl who was getting money 'in the hand' for grinds, and then the Feds cracked down, and now she has no house.

    True story.

    Hate that too, retail staff are not so friendly these days, they just leave it on the counter instead of money into the hand.

    So money won't be the only thing she finds in her hand I assume?

    Depends who your dealing with op. I was with a hooker once who said a fifty euro note in the hand was worth two in the bush.:confused:

    I prefer the ladies tuck it into my thong, but if they want to put in 'into my hand' then I charge an extra twenty.

    I'm so much in debt that's it's the only way I can eat.

    If I do a regular job it's a transfer to the bank in 75 days and is gobbled up in the endless debt pit.

    If I do a day's cash in hand I can get a MacDonald's and few litres of diesel and a few cheap Aldi beers ~ job's done.

    now if only it could happen EVERY day and I'd be sorted.
