Constable Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 link I fondly remember the days of withdrawing £200 from an ATM and getting 40 crisp new fivers when it had run out of other notes. 'remember the old £5 note? what a cool note that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving For a Space Ship Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Not seen an ATM yet that gives out fivers for many many years. Lloyds in Ellesmere Port had fivers 3-4 years ago, I assumed because it was a poor area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Bart' Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've only been using ATMs since 1997 and can't remember Midland Bank/HSBC issuing fivers. Would be handy at times though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Loo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 According to R4, the average cash withdrawal is £66. thats odd as it appears impossible to drawn...even with the fivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Loo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Foreign withdrawals on Debit card course, that also implies that MOST house sales are below the average they report too, and no-one buys AT the average price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmandu Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Why don't they just reduce the size and weight of £2 and £1 coins thereby saving a fortune in metal and trouser pockets.

singlemalt Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I took 50 quid out of a an HSBC cash machine last week and got a couple of fivers. Beat me to it. I too recently received a fistful of crisp £5 notes from a HSBC machine x12 to be exact. Saved 'em for my nephew's pocket money, hate giving him manky 5's.

dpmiller83 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 There is a cash point outside Sainsbury’s behind waterloo station that issues only £5 notes. It's satisfying receiving a nice wad of crisp new fivers... unfortunate then that each one will barely buy you a pint and a packet of crisps.

Dave Spart Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Let's organise a trivia-riot to demand the return of the £1 note. I wonder how the future will pan out as the economy regresses? I can envisage people busking for a burger at Ye Olde McDonalds and in response McDonalds serfs being forced to wear T-shirts bearing the slogan "Groats Not Notes".

bigsmelly Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Funnny, the first thought I had was this was softening us up for INFLATION - i.e. Put fivers in the cash machine, and phase out all the coins...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
