I've never been lucky enough to have a £50 note!

Re: £50 notes
They gave us a deadline date over here when we went into the Euro currency Janela, that seems like donkeys years ago now, when it expired they were still taking the old money at the Central Bank, they still do as far as I know, only problem is you have to go to the bank personally no matter which part of the Country you live in. Banks don't do anyone any favours so my guess is there must be some old law regarding currency that once it's circulated it must be honoured, this date deadline just helps to make it easier for them to get it all in and disposed of as soon as possible, and maybe nab a few ex bank robbers in the process.
Just thinking about all the notes they used to put into the square charms for the charm bracelets back in the 60s/70s, £1, £5, £10, £20, I've never seen a £50 one though. They were all complete notes ironed down flat in a special press.

I was lucky Joe, the day of my wedding I had a £100 pound note in my hand, it only lasted a few seconds as I was paying the reception bill at the hotel, all £65 quids worth for 68 guests and eight children, including a bottle of brandy and a bottle of whiskey for the toast! 1965, God be with the days.
