This note has been the source of much pain for our son. It is being produced at two different printing works. There is a very slight difference in the weights of the notes. First time in recent history that this has happened. Our sons furm produces cash counting machines, this weight discrepancy has driven them barmy. Little things huh.

This introduction of new notes. Is it to prevent people stockpiling cash under mattresses?
It must be really nasty to find a hundred grand in used twenties under granny's bed and not be able to spend it.
Who'd want to go to the bank with that sort of money they'd think you are a drug dealer.
On the other hand if you keep some they might be worth more than £20 to collectors in 50 years time.

The article claims the £20 note is the most forged. What annoys me is that they make a big fuss in Tesco's / Sainsbury's when we proffer a £50 note for our purchases, and have to summon supervisors to 'check' the note (as if they could tell a forgery!), yet they do not have the notes they give us in change inspected - any of the twenties they pull out of the till could be fakes! I often say "How do I know these notes you're giving me aren't forgeries?" - and I have grown used to the blank look of the cashier. Still, it amuses me.

The nub of the issue is that you could take it to the bank and change it but then its on record. Inheritance tax looms.

I have grown used to the blank look of the cashier. Still, it amuses me. Let me help you out here. The thought behind the blank look of the cashier's face is not 'How interesting. I have not considered that really interesting point till now. What an interesting customer'.

Yes, just last month I discovered a million pounds in used but withdrawn notes under the mattress of my deceased grandmother. "What rotten luck", I said to myself. If only dear old granny hadn't been a meth dealer.

I had tried cleaning the now somewhat mummified body of Granny with them and some all-purpose cleaner, but I'l give the arsewipe concept a fair go with my very next bowel movement.

This is what a fiver looked like when I was a kid, far more classy than any of this plastic rubbish.

And when I was a kid, (can just about remember) my dad showed me a five pound note that he got in his holiday wages, it was a large sheet of white paper with a bit of writing on it Phil
