I’ve had a £5 note in my pocket the past few weeks which I have not spent, because there is a name on it. Sheila Sergenson.
I can’t remember where I got the note – change in a shop or pub, most likely. I think I remember receiving the note, seeing the name, and thinking it might be worth investigating, but I have no recollection of where I was at the time. I just tucked it away in my wallet, forgot about it, and only discovered it again tonight.
I wonder who Sheila Sergenson is, and why she or someone else wrote her name on a Royal Bank of Scotland five pound note? It would be nice to return her cash to her – it’s got her name on it, after all. She might be wondering where it got to.
A simple google search doesn’t throw up much, other than the confirmation that “Sergenson” is a real name.
Any other ideas?

I await with substantial intrigue.

She plays golf near Cumbernauld. Maybe you can track her down via the course that she is a member of:

This sounds like the start of a Hanks/Ryan movie.

re: Nev’s comment.
There was also that John Cusack flick “Serendipity” where they wrote their names and phone numbers on things and if they were meant to be together, they would find them again.
What if you holding on to the money means that Sheila will never find true love???!!?!?!?!

Oh yes indeedy. How exciting!
Don’t worry about the golf thingy Sim. I’m sure you’ll come to love it just as much as Sheila does. Think of all that fresh air and nature {:->
