Dad got call from dry cleaners after leaving £300 for kids' present in his suit

A dad almost lost all £300 of his kids' cash in a laundrette's dryer - only for an honest worker to 'save the day' by rescuing the wad of cash from his pocket in the nick of time. Ravi Sethi admits he regularly forgets to empty his pockets despite being asked if he had when handing over clothes at Spring Clean dry cleaners.

The 44-year-old was stunned when worker Caroline Brennan called him 10 minutes later to reveal he'd left an envelope packed with cash inside one of his blue suits. He's since revealed the £300 inside was saved to spend on his three kids Asha, 16, Layla, 11, and Hari, seven, [all Sethi] who were hoping to get cash and gifts, such as fish and a drum kit, for Christmas.

The grateful barrister rushed back to the shop to collect his money and handed £10 to Caroline as a thank-you which she reluctantly accepted. Humble Caroline, 58, says she was just following the standard procedure, but Ravi praised her for 'saving Christmas' and stopping him 'tearing the house down' looking for the cash.
