So that's what £100,000 in cash looks like

It pays to believe in your product. In this put-your-money-where-your-mouth is campaign, 3M use a street poster made from two sheets of glass, containing over £100,000 in cash, to demonstrate the strength of their belief in the product's ability to resist the advances of bus stop vandals. In fact, they want as far as to tell members of the public that they could keep the contents if they could get at it. If only I had come to work via a JCB with a thermal lance in my brief case. Mind you, I have no doubt that the poster would have come to an untimely end in certain parts of London. No, I don't mean the East End, I mean the City of London. As we now know, most of the UK's major criminals work in the Banks, Brokerages and Financial establishments around Thread Needle Street. While it might have taken Arthur Daily a few hours to find a suitable hammer drill, the average Hedge Fund Manager has enough ill-gotten gains floating around to call in an Airstrike from the US Airforce/Carlisle Group/Bush neo- conservative welfare fund. Even the Brinks Mat boys could never have mustered the resources at the disposal of the average Derivatives Dealer. Go on 3M, I dare you to set it up somewhere in The Square Mile. Those ruthless, thieving Bankers will have it out of there before you can say, "It's as easy as asset stripping a pensioner's pension fund."
