£1 note
I found an old but torn £5 note and a tatty £1 note in an old bag. My bank paid £5 into my account but said they couldn't honour the £1, even to donate to charity.

How many direct debits?
Just been checking my bank account and was surprised to see that I have amassed 24 direct debits. I checked through them to make sure that I hadn't forgotten to cancel any old memberships etc., but, no, they were all in order. It's amazing how many you build up over the years.
