Spent almost my whole lunch hour in a queue at the bank. I wanted a £50 note to go in a card as part of a 50th birthday present.
When I got to the counter I was told they couldn't help me as the minimum cash withdrawal was £300 - everything under that has to be taken from the cash machine - aaarrrghh [msnmad] [msnmad]

The only way round it was to go the cash machine, draw £50 and then stand in the queue again and ask them to change it for a £50 note.

Needless to say I didn't bother [gun]

I was not a happy bunny [msnmad]
