£50 notes

Posted by: mista h on 14 May 2013

Anybody else had trouble spending 50 quid notes. Got £500 out of the bank yesterdayand 4 places so far have refused to take them.

Local bakers......refused point blank on £10 spend.

Well known clothing chain....instructions from head office not to take them

local chemist wanted a smaller note,told me to come back with something smaller

Chain of bookshops....went to buy a £4.95 paperback again refused  but lad happy to take a C/C for such a small amount.

Does the taxman take £50s? Or is that not an issue for you?

I'm not sure that's a good idea. I think there are many on here that may find stories like that distasteful. I don't want to incur the wrath of Adam Meredith. 

 

Is your diabetes now under control?

 

Keep well

Diabetes is fine,but the last of my worries at the moment. Got another small op in the Marsden in 10 days,plus i had a hosepipe put down into my stomach last week. I have a hiatus hernia in my oosophagus,plus a growth in my stomach for which they have taken a snippet to check out,this was done in my local hospital Maydie.

I'm sorry to hear of your stomach problems. I hope the biopsies come back clear.

Haha I wish the tax man wasn't an issue. As its my second job and pays more than my main job they quite happily take every £50 note I get paid. I'm not a traveller if that's what your implying. Just kidding I'm a heating engineer by trade and decided to do something more rewarding so now work in adult social care. The pay sucks but I love it. So work weekends as much as poss to pay the bills and feed my Hifi addiction. Thanks, Mike

I went into a garage kiosk to pay for fuel and was told they didn't take 50's, I said that was all I had, but they could take their fuel back if they want, they took the 50..
