Yes.

It's called a bank.

They have them in most high streets and they will happily look after
your money for you, even paying you a small consideration for doing
so.

The real magic is that you can get it out again from machines set into
the walls of banks, supermarkets, filling stations and even
launderettes if it needs to be cleaned.

I've never figured out how they get the notes down the wires, though.

Ah yes, but I once checked and you don't get the same notes back.

I'll look after the OP's money for him.

Problem with them is I cant get all the money I need when I want it. I think
the maximum my bank gives out at a cash machine is something like £250 not
good enough for me to be honest.

they get the notes down the wires by specially folding them in some secret
oragami method only known to a select few.

I can envisage needing a few hundred quid on the *very* odd occasion,

I keep that much for buying cars \ spare parts (some very expensive) ... bit

are a aggravation to be honest.

Assuming it's my money, I can't think of any reason I shouldn't carry it all
in cash if I wish.

Not necessarily practical, but let's not get into the realm that carrying
many grand or more in cash implies you are a criminal! Some people hate
banks. Some people don't like imagining (truly or falsely) that their
private business is being logged on computer. Some people do a lot of
private buying and selling (the previously mentioned cars is an obvious
example - I don't bother with banks for 1-3 grand, a cash buy often secures
a good sale. I get my receipts in writing, that's good enough for me.

Difficult, not knowing your situation. IIWY I'd go and get proper advice
from a locksmith. If it's not to be a concealed safe (you can put it
somewhere out of normal view, in a cupboard, even) you ought to fix it
with proper fixings into masonry, floor and wall if poss., in a position
as inaccessible as possible, such as a corner, under the stairs, or
whatever. You can get a reasonable safe for about 50 quid up second
hand. Ask your insurance co. about it, too, and see what they cover and
what they would be prepared to cover (and for how much!).

Go and talk to a locksmith. Safes are rated according to the amount of cash
or valuables (usually ten times the cash value) that they are likely to
carry and your insurance company will want you to use a properly specified
one. Basic safes are unlikely to be rated for more than a few hundred pounds
in cash. A genuine locksmith (rather that the places that claim to be
security centres) will be able to discuss your needs and advise you on the
safe and on any other related building security you might need.

An assumption which the Home Office would dearly like to propogate.

Screwfix have some nice little safes. Difficult choice between concealment
(eg the floorboard safe) and something more obviously safe-like which will
be easier for burglars to identify but perhaps harder for them to break
open.

I personally think the 2-brick wall safe is a nice balance between the two -
but I've always wanted to have a safe full of secrets & diamonds behind an
oil-painting... )

I was one in a local Supa snaps shop and the ladies had just had a new
fax/phone delivered by their HQ to use in the shop. They didnt have a
clue how to connect/use it and asked if i knew. Being a quiet summer
afternoon i said i did and duly plugged it in and set it up. I
explained how to fix, i.e put the page in here face down,dial,press
this and the paper will be drawn into the machine. The woman looked
puzzled and then asked, but how does the sheet of paper fit down the
wire?. I looked,she wasnt even smiling-i think she meant it......

I can envisage needing a few hundred quid on the *very* odd occasion,
but I can't think of a legal reason for needing £5k in cash.

There are plenty of legal reasons for posessing and using 5K in cash.
You might not *need* to use cash but there's certainly no law against
it. Where's the problem, other than your prejudices?

I'm sure there are *possible* reasons, but I would suggest that for
the most part, one would be either stupid or not being entirely honest
to keep or carry around this sort of money in cash.
