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.

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.


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.
