Natwest Dispense £5.00 notes

Hmm. Very aggressive.I've assumed nothing, I simply asked you to provide evidence, all you've done is said "National Press" as if somehow the UK papers are a reliable source of truth about the EU which they're not in any way, shape or form. The reason banks are/were reticent to dispense £5 notes is because it requires additional effort to add the extra tray and also means it will need to be refilled more frequently, it's an administrative issue, it has absolutely bog all to do with legislation or any of that nonsense, if a bank wanted, it could build an ATM that dispensed coins and £50 notes and nobody would stand in the way of that.
So, you've stated that all newspapers are completely unreliable. You've also implied that you are familiar with the interior workings of cash dispensing machines and with bank policy relating to those machines.
Perhaps you would now be so kind as to produce some proof with regard to your observations?."Never underestimate the mindless force of a government bureaucracyseeking to expand its power, dominion and budget"Jay Stanley, American Civil Liberties Union.0 -

I did, click the link I placed on the text of my previous post... I'm still waiting for a link from you to back up your claim that the EU is responsible for ATMs not stocking £5 notes but evidently, nothing forthcoming so far.
And while I'm at it; don't take my comment out of context, I said the national papers were not reliable sources of information regarding the EU, I did not at any point say that everything published in the newspapers is false, simply that not everything published is true or accurate... or aren't you familiar with the phrase "I read it in the papers so it must be true"
Or were you asking how to make an ATM dispense coins and £50 notes?0 -
And why should a link be reliable? Actually, it is what I was told by two bank managers.I'm still waiting for a link from you to back up your claim that the EU is responsible for ATMs not stocking £5 notes but evidently, nothing forthcoming so far.
No-one said that you were referring to all newspapers everywhere and to everything that they contain. The context was the EU, a fact of which you are quite well aware, and there you did indeed make a blanket statement.And while I'm at it; don't take my comment out of context, I said the national papers were not reliable sources of information regarding the EU, I did not at any point say that everything published in the newspapers is false, simply that not everything published is true or accurate...

Your emphasis, too.

The internet provides social inadequates with the means by which they can safely give vent to their resentments.Why is there a argument over every question?
MSE has a number of resident 'arguers' whose offensive manner and writings would earn them short shrift in the flesh."Never underestimate the mindless force of a government bureaucracyseeking to expand its power, dominion and budget"Jay Stanley, American Civil Liberties Union.0 -

If there was something in that sentence that put it in the context of the EU, I must have missed it, because it certainly didn't look like it to me. I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm simply incredulous.
In any case, I think it's fairly self-evident that you've no interest in backing up your original claim, which frankly was all I was actually interested in, and in spite of that, every single reply you've made has completely avoided the question and focused purely on critiquing my style of writing, and so on that basis, I think we can safely say that the EU isn't responsible for banks not previously stocking £5 notes in ATMs.
I'm not here to start arguments, you made the claim and I called it out, you could have either cited some actual articles/statements/texts or simply backed down, the fact you did neither and instead embarked upon misrepresenting my statements resulted in a red herring discussion. At the end of the day, if you are going to make an assertion, be prepared to back up its veracity or don't take it personally when it gets challenged.0 -
I was just thinking today how handy it would be to be able to take out £5 notes, I'll be on the lookout for this. Thanks!Thank you competition posters!
