It comes from newspaper competitions in the 50s and 60s. A member of staff from the paper would be 'hiding' in plain site in a town in the UK. You would go up to people who you believed it to be and say "You are so and so and I claim my five pounds!" If you'd got the right person they'd give you a fiver, a lot of money in the day. My grandfather spent a day searching on Morecombe beach once, he found him though.

We’ve got a week in Devon booked for mid-May. I assumed that would be fine even if the pubs and restaurants are shut but it seems the West Country MPs are telling people not to come because the healthcare facilities can’t cope if it spreads much there. So we’ll see whether we end up going.
