Fifty Pound Notes withdrawn

[sammy13]

It's time for everyone to lift their floorboards, and mattresses, the £50 note featuring Houblon will no longer be legal tender at the end of this month.
If you have no idea which person this is, but do have a stash of them to check it shows you here -

What's a £50 note? I've never had one in my pocket. I won't even have a £20 in there.

If I lose a piece of paper money then £5 is bad enough!

I don't think I've ever had a £50 note - if someone wants to send me one of the old ones (preferably before they stop being legal tender) just so I can experience it, i will happily PM them my address

I haven't seen a £50 note for years! Many many many years ago, I used to run the office for a restaurant, and everyone was paid cash. I used to handle tonnes of notes, not nearly enough of them were mine though

I remember those days when you got paid cash in a little brown wage packet.
I wasn't overjoyed at receiving my wage though, my heart sank if there were a few £50 notes in it, trying to get rid of them was a nightmare.

It's ok - I'll take a bank transfer, and I promise I'll go to the bank and withdraw it as a £50 note. Thanks charon, you're a star

Little brown envelopes with a frosted window  Oh the memories!

I can't be bothered queuing in the bank, I think I will just pop to the Ferrari garage tomo, swap them for little number there.
