I thought the English £50 was discontinued a few years ago. We was told not to accept any cos only forgeries were in circulation. Well, there ya go.

But you don't have any £1 notes; theoretically we still do, but don't, only IoM still has afair

Fifties are mainly used by tourists, but they are still around. You can't get them from ATMs (don't think they fit) so only if you go to a bank counter or I guess a bureau de change. We got a new pattern about 3 years ago which was great fun -- at the time I was working in a department store and had to write up a lot of staff who continued to take the old ones from chancers months after they were no longer valid.
