Sofa Currency.

How much money in total do you calculate is down the back of all the sofas in the world? From this what is the average amount of cash per sofa and how many sofas will I need to pillage to buy myself a decent 42" widescreen plasma T.V. I really really want one!

O.k I've justhad an idea. If everyone checks how much money is down the back of their sofa's and then reports back how much was found in how many sofa's we can then work out an average. I have checked my two sofa's and I have found 2x 1 penny coins in one and nothing in the other, which gives us an average so far of 1 pence per sofa. Please continue.........

Just found another 20 pence coin in the sofa that I thought had nothing in it. So now the average stands at 11 pence per sofa!

I don't have a sofa but after coming home slightly tipsy the other night I awoke to find some of my spare change had crawled out of my pocket and nestled itself comfortably across my bedroom carpet.
There was about 77p there

I went down my sofa the other day trying to retrieve a peanut, when instead I found a �20 note! I really wanted the peanut, but have been informed that �20 can buy lots of peanuts, because money can be exchanged for goods and services.

when we bought a new suite recently, we made sure there was nothing down the back of our old sofas, and despite ripping the bottom off of them, we still found nothing - sorry I think you'll have to find another get rich quick scheme to get your tv

One time we bought a sofa from this guy in west london, nice chap, his wife had just passed away and had left him everything, house, car, and this nice big antique sofa, which he didn't want any more because it held 'bad memories' for him and he thought it looked a bit funny. We had a look down the sides, and we only found 3 Beatrix Potter first editions, which we sold on the world wide interweb and made a tidy packet!.
Which was nice.

I caught the tail end of an interview about a girl suffering from brittle bones syndrome and after breaking a leg, she had to wear a stookie and she found a pound coin down it.....

For the benefit of those poor souls deprived of caledoniphonia, stookie = large hard white plaster, put on fractured/leg arm by doctor.

It depends on the type of sofa you have and its design. In my student days me and two friends flatshared. We had this sofa which you slanted backwards so the change fell out of you pockets. Atfer our housewarming party-cleanup we found nearly �7 (twopacks of fags was alot of money for a student.

We had a party every weekend and a invited anyone we knew (in the hope of cadging free drinks and spare change) in the end our sofa-jar was quite full up when the TV license man came knocking asking why we didnt have one.

At least we didnt argue about what we were going to spend our ill gotten gains on.
