Just been going through my Dropbox & found this from a year or two ago.

Not something you wanna spend too much time in:

Went to The cinema last night and had an argument with the counter staff because they wouldnt accept my £50 note to pay for some popcorn and a drink.

I ended up having to go and change it and give them two twenties and a ten instead!

I knew cinemas were expensive but over 40 quid for some popcorn and a drink is insane.

TBF you've posted in juvenile, not Sean's topic.

I thought the punchline was going to be that they wouldn't accept 1 x £50 on it's own as it wasn't enough!

"Man with a pocket full of fifties, but no bank card to carry out a simple transaction"? Sounds dodgy to me. The only time I've EVER used a fifty pound note (or a bundle of them, even) was to buy a car from a second-hand dealer, back in the days when they actively encouraged punters to buy with cash. I drew the cash from my bank, put it in a brown envelope in my inside jacket pocket, and swapped it for the car in question.

Aside from that, I can't recall ever even seeing a Fifty "in the wild". I have one in my second wallet, but that was a Christmas gift from a relative, attached to a chocolate bar that was packaged in a box that was a facsimile of the face of a fifty. I'd wager that spending it in it's current form might be difficult. My son worked in retail and he was forbidden to accept fifty pound notes as payment. Only the manager was permitted to authorise acceptance of the high denomination note, and even he was unwilling to risk getting caught out by a counterfeit. I'm not even sure why the fifty pound note even exists?

I wasn't sure, either, why the post ended up here in "juvenile things" but I'm now suspecting that it was an attempt at a joke about how expensive popcorn and other snacks and refreshments are in a cinema these days....

What was showing? 'The Sting' or 'Slumdog Millionaire', maybe.

Sorry didn't mean to cause such consternation

I just didn't think it really warranted full joke status. It would appear i made a bad call on this one!
