There aren't any bus fares down here [b]UNDER[/b] £2 😯
It's a joke that to go 4 miles they want £2.30 one way.
The ferry is even worse - £2.80 to do exactly 560mts - at least that is return.

[I]To resurect an old thread - even a high ranking banking exec thinks £50 notes are used by dodgy types!...[/I]

Nothing new.

[I]Mr Sands, who produced the report for the Harvard Kennedy School, urged the world's 20 largest economies to take up the matter before their next summit in China in September.[/I]

Wonder if he got paid in cash, for HIS story resurrection?

Arriving at Munich airport recently, I relished the pervertosity (if that isn't a word it should be) of withdrawing 100 Euro at the ATM in the terminal which was proffered as two 50 Euro bank notes only for it to be refused by the driver of the bus into town. FFS Germans.

Yep, but it's definitely partly determined by the area. I can't imagine a machine that lets you withdraw a fiver but doesn't carry any twenties would be much use in central London

The ones in Wokingham (which frequently win's the Daily heil's "Best place to live in the UK" type awards for being so achingly middle class that Sainsbury's is the cheap supermarket) dispense them.

Irritating because I like to line my road shoes with £20 notes, £5ers bulk them up too much.
