old £20.00 notes

[slim_boy_fat]

I've been insulted by better people than you, you know

Is that a kebarber...?

Add a creche and you could drop off the kebabby while you get your hair done

You're on fire today.

New ones are more plastic than fantastic...

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Why do they never show Betty on new notes as she is now?

 

[Johnnybravo]

would scare the non local people

yeah, I'm not impressed with them at all

I'm not sure why I expected anything better tbh... for some reason they seam worse than the £10s to me

Send all yours to me I quite enjoy the plasticky feeling and would be most happy to relieve you of your tactile problem .


PS
It would be most appreciated if you can dip them in bleach & disinfectant to remove germs off them .

I wonder if the sniffer dogs can smell the new notes at the customs with em being plastic

Wasn’t there some talk about the new notes being unsuitable for vegetarians? If there’s meat products in them, dogs should find them easily.

If any veggies or vegans don’t want to handle theirs, I’m happy to relieve them of them

Yeah it was the vegans that had beef with it, something to do with one of the ingredients coming from an animal, I think it might have been for the clear window bit on them.

I think the amount of meat in the new notes was less than if someone ate a Greggs sausage roll and passed the note to you.

The dogs can smell plastic. They have them out in the Far East for sniffing out pirated DVDs.

Train a dog to sniff out 10mm sockets and you will be set for life

 

[brightspark]

my dog sniffs round all my pockets when I come home from work for the gravy bone biscuits I sometimes have in them , bang on every time im sure our lass is similar but she sniffs out the money

Its a tiny, tiny amount of tallow (animal fat) added to the plastic before it's processed into the clear film, it allows processing as a slip modifier and helps with the gloss of the finished film. I believe it's actually impossible to make without it.
I work in the factory next to factory where the film and rough-finished notes are produced #claimtofame

I'd be digging a tunnel from your factory to theirs

They have sesmic activity monitors, among other things I was fortunate enough to have a tour around the banknote facility, and trust me when I say it's VERY secure.

Short of a fully equipped assault team with explosives, you aren't getting in. Nor can anyone sneak material out - I was racking my brains for a way to work a heist

The rough-finished notes go on to a De la Rue factory to get the final printing, but most of the security marks already placed here.

Yes they pick up on the plastic & human grease stink .

 

[knighty]

the company I buy cardboard boxes from supplies boxes to a factory making bank notes (no idea where/which one)

talking to the driver, every pallet is unloaded from the truck X-rayed and then re-packed onto a new pallet.... while he's locked in a small glass room, which is inside another room with no windows so he can't see out

Sounds like someone has been watching too much Skyfall .

Got my first new £20 yesterday - they are smaller.

I like the plastic notes.

Tucked mine in the back of phone case - first one - saved for an emergency.
