…also just noticed in your picture it’s one of those cashpoints that charges you for withdrawals so your fiver is probably going to cost you 7 quid

You always used to be able to get £5 notes out of cashpoint machines, probably until about ten years ago. In my University Campus in Southampton the Lloyds machine dispensed £5 notes (handily for students) even in 2005.

Recently I’ve used machines that will only dispense in denominations of 20, hopefully that won’t become common place!

[...] Humbold Hounds wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt In the past, you’ve only ever been able to withdraw £10 from Britain’s cash machines ($20) but Hackney, in East London, is to get the UK’s first ever machine to dispense a lower denomination on August 1st. Earlier this month, the Bank of England had argued that the nation’s high street banks were ‘sitting on piles’ of £5 notes instead of offering consumers the chance to withdraw smaller amounts. Ron Delnevo, the managing director of Bank Machine, explained it would be of ‘great benefit’ to cust [...]
