Sun-fuelled cash machine scramble

CASH MACHINE BONANZA IN HOT WEATHER

Ice cream cones, beach towels and deck chairs - you need cash for them and last Friday saw a scramble for cash machines as Britons headed outside to enjoy the sun.

LINK, the UK cash machine network, says that Friday 30th September was the busiest day of the year so far for ATM withdrawals with £577million taken out.

It was the highest daily total since Christmas Eve 2010 and 14% higher than the equivalent day in 2010.
