The lowly seer

Not enough fivers

Just seen a report in the paper that Bank of England governor, Mervyn King, has criticised the high st banks for not putting enough fivers in circulation. This gels with experience - several occasions recently I've had to accept a whole load of coins in my change as the shop or pub didn't have any £5 notes.

I hope things will change, I really don't want to see a situation like travelling in India in the 80s and 90s, you had to cling on to small denomination notes as no-one ever seemed to have change.
