An ATM‡ I recently used in Belgium refused to accept me entering a 4 digit pin and insisted (by means of the 'continue' button not working) me enter a 6 digit pin.
00XXXX didnt work neither.
Gave up and went to use another ATM which also requested a 6 digit pin, but accepted 4 digits, and then got its own back by giving me ^50 notes...

I do not work for FGW▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ including First Great Western.

The opposite of that is when you take ^500 out of the machine and it coughs it out in fivers......

Wow! Wherever did you find a cash machine that actually issued any fivers - let alone 100 of them!    |

I actually seem to get ^5 notes out of cash machines quite a lot nowadays, the number dispensing them has certainly increased in the last couple of years.

The RBS machine at my local Tesco Express (across from West Ruislip station) issues fivers.

Not any more - it's halfway through being turned into a restaurant (C^te). |

In which case I would highly recommend Lloyds bank near St James' Park station.. Just checked my purse again and today I got ^20 in ^5 notes and ^30 in ^10 notes.. It is the best place for ^5 notes I've found in a long time

Yes - Lloyds do have a new and very nondescript shop round the corner, but have abandoned a building designed for them, and looking like a bank and nothing else. And the fact that this new restaurant was not (pseudo)Italian made the front page of the Wokingham Times. |
