Taking a fiver out of the ATM.

Funnily enough I went to get money out yesterday down the village and noticed a new bank machine. Its one of those generic ones that are becoming common in the north, not associated with any of the banks. Anyway it offered me multiples of £5 up to £20 and then multiples of 10. I asked for £20 and it gave me 4 fivers. Sign of the recession!
