How to spend £50 notes?

Go to the self serve checkout at a supermarket and stuff it in the machine when you buy something. I do this to break bigger notes into smaller ones, and also to get rid of my small change. (When I buy something on the self serve checkouts I just stick all my change in and see what's left to pay.) It means you don't have to feel guilty by giving the checkout assistant a handful of change.

go to the strip club and make it rain

I remember once when I was serving at my local Cancer Research till and I scanned a woman's stuff (a few toys and baby clothes). It came up to a total of like £15 and she gave me a £50 note Had to tell her to get something smaller from the bank because I couldn't provide her with the change, who the **** pays with a £50 unless your buying something expensive.

Put it all in the bank, then get it out at the cashpoint, I don't think any cashpoints give out £50 notes.

All the cash machines over here in the Netherlands give out 50's, it's annoying because i'm so used to people in shops being bothered by me using a £50 note that I presume they'll do the same here. I've said a few times to bartenders or people at the checkout "I only have a 50 is that alright?", just out of habit. They've always taken it. Even if i'm just buying one drink at a bar or something.

I think this is not only a big problem to a foreign student (like me) but also to UK people as well. The bank will always give you £50 notes when you do the currency conversion ..and I know somehow British doesn't like using £50 and always consider they are fake...

I can't just put all my money in the bank account because you need some cash with you anyway. So I need some ideas and advises helping me spend them or break them up.

wicked !!

Imagine how bad this would be if we had the equivalent of the 500 Euro note!

didn't think I'd receive a positive response from female :P but wicked it would be!
