I caught a glimpse of one today for the first time in nearly a year living here. I was checking out at the Sainsbury's Local at CLJ on my way back from LHR, and the guy next to me was getting cash back (I think). I think his cashier didn't have £50 in the till, but mine said he had a £50 note if the guy wanted it. He took it.
