How To Spot A Cacher In The Pub

April 14, 2005

I have just replied to a question from some newbies,on how to spot a cacher in the pub at a meet, and couldn't resist the oppotunity for a spot of humour.

So here's the start of 50 ways to spot a cacher.

1/ Look for a guy using a gps to locate his wallet.
