    Thanks all.. I couldn't pay on my card as it was a savings account.

    Found a pound in car as well so put that in just in case.

    Safely home from work and no petrol light on!
    Don’t put it down - put it away!

    Given how close to the wire you seem to be from a financial perspective, it might be worth your while checking out the threshold at which your petrol light comes on - in some cars there's enough reserve tank capacity to drive a significant distance once the light comes on. Nobody likes to be taking unnecessary risks of running out of fuel but, depending on how long your commute is, that might have removed the urgency from your situation today?

    Most NatWest, RBS and Tesco ATMs dispense fivers.

    Is it really most? I've never yet come across one from any of those that dispenses fivers in Scotland. Are they all in England?

    Definitely not most. 'Some' would probably be more like it.

    I haven't either. The only cash machine I've ever stumbled across that will let you draw £5 was one outside a shop in Paignton. It just came up as one of the amounts of the screen, wouldn't have known otherwise!

    It's not just in England. Just the other day I used an ATM outside a 'wee Tesco' in Edinburgh and got fivers. It definitely offered £5 as an option.

    I know of at least one other Tesco store where the same applies; as well as an RBS branch.

    Some ATMs that have £5 say it, Lloyds in my town has 3 ATMS inside, the last one is labelled that it has £5's.

    Also got them from Natwest and Barclays (Barclays regularly gives them even when I don't want them)
