Title: £100 pound note.
Post by: Oilybloke on March 12, 2015, 06:44:50 PM: I managed to sell that horrible Citroen Berlingo and was paid in some of these. Legal tender here.

I stopped for something to eat on the way home and tendered one of said notes, even the Scots didn't know they had such large denominations, l eventually got a meal after someone had made a phone call or two to confirm their existance.

Until I came up to your place I thought the world ended north of Norfolk.

Do you trust them though? I don't even trust 50s, and always break into a sweat spending 20s anywhere they scan them.
The safest thing to do seems to be to put them in the bank, they hardly look at them.

I wasnt there (my partner paying in) else id have queried it more - id liked to have had a good look, apart from anything else.

I wasnt all that upset - ebay sale, chap paid £700 in cash, and one £20 was bad. I doubt he knew either, and my profit on the item eclipsed the £20 loss.
