Watch this video (it's safe for work).

To me the most interesting part is not that someone just threw £20,000 out of a moving vehicle, but how the passersby reacted. In the US I would expect that there would have been at least one fistfight and a whole lot of yelling. If you watch the video, you'll see people taking some of the money, but not taking all of it. And in the midst of it, there are a couple of people having what appears to be a short yet polite conversation (imagine with British accent -- it's funnier that way):

British Person 1: 'ello there. Would you mind terribly if I took some of this money from the ground.
British Person 2: Not at all. I'm sorry, is this your money?
British Person 1: Oh, no no no. I think some bloke just tossed it here.
British Person 2: I see. Do you think we should try to return it?
British Person 1: I think not. We'll just take a bit of it, then perhaps go for tea.
British Person 2: Do you have a billfold or something in which to carry yours?
British Person 1: No. I seem to have forgotten it back at my flat.
British Person 2: Would you like a bag? I have a spare.
British Person 1: Oh no, thank you, I'll just take what I can carry. Thanks.
British Person 2: Are you sure? It's no trouble.
British Person 1: If you insist and you're sure it's no trouble.
British Person 2: Not at all. And here, let me help you gather up some more bills.
British Person 1: Thank you. Let me buy tea.
