More probably because a few years back there was a spate of forged
Scottish £20 notes being passed in England precisely because most people
there didn't know what a real one looked like.

Another annoyance is that the machines are flattening the tactile dots on
the tenners, which can eventually mean you have no idea what they are
without measuring them or using a phobile mone app, which at the moment don'
tread the 20s.

You're lucky, you are - our local bank closed a year or two back, and
the nearest one is 40 miles away.

I've never had a problem with scottish notes in London. But then I

No doubt Jim does and tries every shop until he finds one that refuses
them. Seems to be his way of life.

How generous of it. No cash machine has ever given me anything.
It always deducts it from my bank account

I was interested to find a local machine that had lower denomination
notes than any nearby.

Inside the (third tier) university nearby. Doesn't seem to the the case

Even longer ago, a NatWest machine regularly gave me ten £1 notes in a
paper packet. And they posted the card back to me for re-use.

That must have been a long time back. I remember an American friend
whose son wanted some English coins and a pound note for his school
'show and tell' asking if I could help. At the time the pound notes
were already uncommon in change etc. but, fortunately, I had one in the
English money I had with me. The lad must be in his 40s now.

Barclays have 'ASD' machines inside their branches that let you choose
which denomination notes you want (as well as doing other things like
paying in cheques). I use cards to buy things mostly, but occasionally
draw out £50 in £5s.
