Great news! I got a telephone call tonight from someone who found one of my fivers!
I have to say I was wondering whether or not I would ever hear from anyone about the project, and so was delighted to learn that one of them had been picked up.
The finder had been given it as change in the pub this evening, and phoned me up straight away to tell me. They said they would send me a photo of them with the note, and then sign and release the note again themselves to see what happens to it.
And yes, you’re probably wondering how they got my number, because I didn’t publish it on my website. Well, that’s because they had my number anyway.
In one of those freakish small world coincidences, the finder was none other than my joinee friend and fellow pub quiz team member, Chris.
So, let’s get this straight. I find a fiver signed by the still mysterious Sheila Sergenson. I sign it myself, and spend it in a pub. A few weeks later, one of my friends gets it as change in another pub. What are the chances?
More news as soon as Chris sends me the proof, but as I say, I was delighted. So much so that I forgive him for calling right in the middle of Lost.

Wow! That one travelled far, Simon! Would have been more interesting if Billy Connolley had been given it in his change at the chip shop, but that’s another story…

No one should call in the middle of Lost…nothing is that important

I quite agree, Danny. And now I’m looking forward to the double bill next Tuesday that brings series 2 to a close!

Oh God. I’d been hoping we could all just quietly forget about this new hobby.

All this shows is that you and your mates spend too much time in the pub!
