I saw them every day when I worked in central London. The shop staff were no more discerning than with smaller notes.

But when the bill is £45, there's no problem anyway.

There was an ATM near Spitalfields that used to dispense £50 notes, so I had a small stack of them.

I felt like I was very cool considering how rare they are.

How the other half live! They were always uncommon up North.

(Maybe they're a bit easier to get hold of now, especially with recent inflation? But I don't use cash as much as I did when I was younger.)
