The new £5 Note!

I was given a new fiver in Berkeley yesterday it does feel as though it won't crumple to a ragged mess like the old ones.  I must start coming the old ones hidden in old handbags etc!

Still not seen one  or any of our friends 

I think they've all  been sold on ebay! 

Not seen one yet, but apparently they are meant to last longer than the old ones.

......however there are conflicting reports that say this is a load of rubbish.  Two pasties, a cake and a bottle of coke and it was gone.      (cribbed from a Facebook post!)

Still not seen one , even ask young lady on checkout did she have one ? No she also has not even seen one 

pare they really out there 

Got one from a machine this P.M, excellent. Plastic feel but very flexible, it has a near clear panel that you can see your finger thru. Crisp colours. I think they're excellent. The £10 & £20 are next

Never seen one -- But - Don't see what everybody is getting so het up about.---  £5 is £5 --- so long as it's legal tender I don't care what it looks like.

Deliberately chaged 3 £20 at three different stores today hoping I would get one  say no more 

I think that new owners are hanging on to them, like they did with the £2 coin when it first came in.  But the B of E  will be forcing the change quite hard, and the old fiver will quite quickly go out of circulation.

I got my first one in change yesterday (I like it!) and when I commented to the girl on the till that it was the first one I had seen, she said that they are getting loads of them now!  I assumed that she meant from the bank, though!
