Answer the Question: A Game (3)

I would have a large moral dilemma here.  When I was growing up you just felt you could trust your policemen and like you Diana I did find a purse with I think about GBP10 in it and I took it to the Police Station.  They said if it wasn't claimed I could have it.  Blowed if I can remember now what happened.

But I think if I took a large amount of money to any Police Station here the money would just disappear and so would the docket!  So I am not sure what I would do about it.  But I don't think I could keep it myself. Perhaps put it into a safety deposit box and speak to a lawyer or just hand it all to a worthy charity if I couldn't find out where it had come from.

This is such an interesting question I think it should keep going.

A funny thing happened to me once that relates to this question. I walked out onto my porch one morning and found a yellow purse laying there. It wasn't my purse and had $30.00 in it and some change, nothing else. I couldn't imagine how it got there and never found out. I felt badly just keeping it so I asked all the neighbors if they recognized it. When they didn't, I asked a young girl who used to walk her dog by my house if she knew anyone who'd lost a purse. It looked like a younger girl's purse. I actually called the police station and told them about it, but they said since I'd asked all around and if no one claimed it within 30 days that I should keep it. I still have the purse, but did eventually spend the money. I still feel badly about it, though. I'd like to know how it happened to land on my porch.

Same question or, if you'd like to change, what would you do if you saw someone shoplifting food in a grocery store? Would you report them? 

Oh dear!  Another dilemma.  I honestly think in this country it would depend what was being stolen and by whom.  In other words if I saw a very poor person with a loaf of bread I would either turn a blind eye or give them the money to pay for it.  However I would report almost any other type of shop lifting because we ultimately end up paying higher prices to cover the amout of goods stolen so if there is more theft we pay more.

How do others feel about this?

I think my answer's the same as yours, Cathy.

Have you ever been to Westminster Abbey?

never been there ruth

does your partner snore.                 truth please.

I don't know, because I drown him out.  lol

James, you must go there sometime.  So much history.  I don't think most people (at least in America) know how old the cathedral is.

Do you snore?                                       truth please 

Mine used to snore so badly we had separate rooms quite early on in our marriage!  Nightmare!   You asked for the truth James! LOL

Do you like visiting historic buildings?

I love to visit historic buildings.  That's one reason I love it so much over there.  We're a little short on them where I live, although Arizona is having its centennial next year. 

What's the best ancient building or monument or historical site you've ever visited?  I think mine were the abbeys at Whitby and Rievaulx and Salisbury Cathedral.  Over here, probably Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

the most spectacular one in my mind is  york minster i have been there a few time's it is well worth seeing.

have you ever been to a fortune teller.
