i dont know of any banks open after lunchtime saturday. just use common sense, if in doubt of a anything dodgy just let him walk.

i would be nervous of taking £8k at my house on a saturday pm and having to keep it safe as you cant bank it until monday am !!!! and there is no way of checking the cash.

we dont take cash anymore over £1k and thats even being a dealer, 99% of transactions are done through cards or bank transfer etc

your safest bet is to go to your bank with him monday am if he really wants it and sort out payment through your bank

goodluck anyway
