Hey everyone,
Almost year to the day from the launch of the new polymer 5 pound note, its big brother the 10 pound note arrives tomorrow! Like the fiver, the new 10 pound note is made of a plastic polymer and is cleaner, will last longer and can even survive a trip through the washing machine! The note will feature the 19th century author Jane Austen, who is most well known for the Pride & Prejudice novel.
Last years fiver caused some upset to the vegan and some religious communities as the polymer contained trace amounts of tallow which comes from animal fat. Unfortunately the 10 pound note will still contain tallow, as will the planned twenty pound note due in 2020.
On the plus side the new notes feature enhanced security features such as micro lettering and holograms and will have raised areas to help the blind and partially sighted
After using the new style fivers for a year what do you think of them? Are you a fan or would you like to return to the more traditional notes?

The best Google can do at this time of year is The Tanning Centre and Time4Tanning in Morecambe then afterwards, if the tides in, you could have a paddle in the bay.....perhaps collect a few shrimps or some cockles for tea.........or both !!

My consultation about going off topic in an off topic thread will cost you £100. All in new £10 notes please. There you go Mr Resolver. Problems solved...and back on topic....
