It's all moot anyway. Banks don't issue £50 notes and nobody accepts them. Which is really very weird because a fifty now is only worth what a twenty was when

It's all moot anyway. Banks don't issue £50 notes and nobody accepts them. Which is really very weird because a fifty now is only worth what a twenty was when I started work. And back then twenties were commonplace and fifties weren't especially rare. I suspect they only exist now to facilitate sketchy payments by HMG.
