Help please! £50 notes legal tender?

[Yazza54]

I've sold my car to my uncle who's turned up with a load of 50s. Some are the new style and a few are the old ones.

Are the old still legal tender? They haven't been withdrawn yet have they??

Old 50s are current.

Thanks

Might take them to the bank and withdraw the amount back out in 20s.

Buying a bike at the weekend and don't want the guy worrying because I've given him 50s.

I find it funny that its your uncle giving you the money and your worried. Also if I was selling a car/bike i wouldn't worry about receiving 50's they didn't change that long ago and there still in normal circulation and will be for a while yet.

I find it funnier that the OP has either posted this mid transaction and is waiting for the answer before proceeding, or has taken the money and is only now asking whether he has a pile of scrap paper.

He's my uncle.. I could always give them back if they weren't OK.

And yes, but he's a odd bloke, one minute he's struggling an the next he turns up with a wad of cash unexpected!

He's a gambler, 50's stuffed in a wallet a sign lucky 8 has dropped in a few times
