I'm not so keen in it. I prefer more fancy writing with squirly whirly things.

Re: New £20 Note

Providing its spendable I aint bothered how it looks. The way they are going they might be considered an artform in the future.

That looks too easily copied, and like it was designed in MS Paint.

Not keen at first glance but like everything else we'll get used to it.

Re: New £20 Note

teh problem is when an old dear gets one in her pension and accuses the post office/Bank of trying to rip them off. then theres teh barstaff/shop assistants who won't know a real one from a copy so are likely to get forged ones passed and get in trouble from their boss

We have UV note detectors in the pub, & the new £20 has alot more security features on it than the old one. It also has 4 different holograms on it.

Some bright spark will copy it, I'll give it a fortnight before the phonies appear, these guys are ahead of the game.

At least while they are doing that the will leave Scottish notes alone for a while. Dosnt matter how good the B of E gets at making banknotes there will always be someone who will make an excelent forgery and pass it on to the gulliable.
