The last HITW I knew that gave out fivers was at the Barclays at
Gloucester Road, but that stopped three or four years ago.

The ones in or near college bars are a good place to try. Number One Son
gets fivers out of the machine at his university.

Funny you should say that - the example i was thinking of was a Barclays
machine on Turl Street in Oxford, within stumbling distance of quite a few
pubs and bars, that does fivers. Or at least, did last time i used it,
which was admittedly quite a while ago.

So, if the Bank of England has these fivers, but the high street banks
don't want to take them, why doesn't it just put its foot down - for every
two tenners they get, they have to take a fiver too, for example. One of
the advantages of having a monopoly position, surely!

The one at Gloucester Road, I think, gave them out because of its
proximity to IC.
