about a year ago i took on this house where the woman whose an old italian asked was it ok to pay in change, "moneys money ok? ". i didnt realize she meant small change! so i ended up with a paper envelope filled mainly with 5 p pieces adding up to £10 .
since that time each and every visit is the same and its become a tradition,the handover of a tatty envelope filled to the brim with change . its just her and her son live there,he must be about 40 and doesnt work . turns out this change is all coming from him,iv even had some chinese money mixed in with it-not enough for me to worry about tho.
The 2 of them are always cagey about where this change comes from ,i ask each and every time in the hope they have run out of change and will pay proper ,but i get no proper answer
i noticed on the latest envelope full of mixed silver coins , it has all sorts of pen scribble notes about various small change amounts so it seems hes totting up a lot of change
any ideas where he is getting it all ?
