I have never seen those notes in my life before. Have I been hiding under rock or something?
yes, theyve been around for a while.
Those are the new Bank of Scotland designs, they came out last year. Considering there are four other types of note in circulation (Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank, Bank of England and of course the old Bank of Scotland notes) it's not really surprising you've not seen them.

It's your loss if you get the sack though.Was in my new job two days before someone gave me a £50, i didnt go mental trying to prove its fake lol.

this is because they are easy to copy and are seen so rarely, it's also a lot of money to be allowed to go in the till if it is fake, they don't '****' themselves as you quaintly put it, it is common practice to have a supervisor have to authorise the taking of a £50 note due, as said above, to the levels of fake tender.
i personally hate £50 notes, they are a right pain in the arse because of the above, and there are a few places that just wont accept them, i'd rather have a £20 and 3 £10s
Oh no I know, you gotta check them, it's the look on their face though like, "this is probably a fake" it always puts a smile to my face.
They don't check them particularly well though, waterwark, see if the ink comes off, done.
"200 marlboro please"
"yeah I made that this morning, it's a goodun"
I reckon banks are trying to phase them out though, hence no update.
I quite like the old fivers too, the colours are deeper than the new ones, pity you don't see them any more.
Not after he gets compensation for unfair dismissal...
You do though
LIES!
Cash machines don't give out £5 notes!
You lie, got a bank round the corner (barclays) that dishes out £5 note, there always crisp as well.

I hate Cash TBH
£50 notes clog up the till draw and make my life ghard to close it. And it annoys me when people ask for a discount if they pay cash! NO you should pay more because I have to count the damm things!
And i do try to prove the £50 note is fake when i get one handed to me. I proved 2 fake... not bad going eh.

£20 notes are the most common fakes though, no one looks twice these days, maybe have a quick look at the hologram thats it.
I worked at supermarkets for years on tills, £50 notes don't make the till hard to close.
Everyone checks £50 notes, i'm talking about the expression some people have, it's like you've anally raped them and come back to buy 20 lambert
