These new plastic 'notes'..

I know I am not alone in finding that they more or less jump out of your pocket !
They are so slippery an sort of unwieldy they escape from your pocket so very easily

I have NO idea how many fivers I have lost, but it is proly balanced out with those I have found..
Lost count of the times I have had to tell the person in front of me in a queue they have dropped either a fiver or tenner.. but it is a lot,,,,,, and the 'notes' have not been in circulation five minutes

On top of that they are far from indestructible.... get one slightly warm and that yer lot !
Guy at a bring and buy a few weeks ago left a fiver in a tin in the sun. It started to go weird after a short while .
Sort of shrunk in places

And even worse.. Get caught in a toilet without any loo paper.. The £10 'notes' just scratch your bum..You have to use £20 nowadays ( welllll until 2020 as they are going too )

I guess that is inflation for you

Clueless in most things
I dislike them also. They have the look and feel of a pringle crisp or that toilet paper you used to have at junior school, Izal

They also stick together and like Jaws said they are very springy and won't stay in the registers at work

I also dislike them I cant count the times I have almost given someone £20 instead of a tenner because the bloody things have stuck together in my wallet And they wont fold up & stay folded :(

Jeez, d'you all want some cheese with that whine?

I'm not up to speed on Sterling, as I've barely handled the stuff in years. However, we have 'plastic money' out here and I much prefer it. It doesn't stink like the old paper notes either.

Money clip or page marker, sorted

You try carrying a few hundred quid in a money clip.. With the new stuff it ends up all over the shop floor if you try and roll off a single note in your pocket

I think it is a plot to spread the money about evenly.. folk losing and folk finding it,,..............
No wonder the high streets are losing business .. No one dare go out with any money as they will lose it !

Roll off a single note IN your pocket. I bet you were one of those who could produce a lighted fag out of your pocket to avoid offering the packet around. :rolleyes:

I doubt someone would mug me for fag Bill.. But flashing a small wad of tenners is not a good idea !
