What an indictment of our inside-out back to front society that this should be newsworthy.

Just one thing why were the university fees being paid in cash, my immediate thought was dodgy money of some kind.
Well done to the boys and what a tight, mean person the looser must be not to give a reward. I think this kind of 'happy' story has always been newsworthy.

was about to post the same jan about the large volume of cash.
i think the story was meant to underline how many good teenagers there are around, i don't know if i would have been that honest when i was their age.

When I was 10, I found in a restaurant in Dover a wallet full of cash.
I immediately gave it to my mother, who worked behind the counter, and she kept it safe till two young Canadian tourists came asking if a wallet containing money had been found.
The two young ladies were so grateful when my mother handed it over to them, it was all the money they had.

My son and his mate also did a similar thing - found a purse and brought it to me and we took it to the woman who had lost it. She also was abrupt and discourteous despite us having first of all found the damned thing and then driven to her house to give it to her. Not good examples for the kids concerned.

hardly sends the right message to our youth.
