Not overly impressed by it, but will wait till I have one in hand to make final judgement.

I would have preferred a more realistic image of HM, she looks remarkably young for a 90 year old.

Yes, one is not amused 

[Humpybong]

As long as I can spend it...who cares!

In my eyes, an improvement on the current note. But it seems I am one of the few who think so.
Is the new design really that unpopular as some reports suggest?

I think people generally don't like change.
We will get over it.
People are certainly unhappy with the new design
if what I have seen on Facebook is anything to go by.

In the UK we are getting polymer banknotes.

10 pound note in 2017 and 20 pound note in 2020.

Most folks are not aware that this change is coming.

10 pound note in 2017 and 20 pound note in 2020.

Oh, 3 years, that's a pretty long gap.

Gee I thought it was short as our government takes a lot longer to do things, there's been talk about new notes out here for many many years and now they're finally doing it, you can't rush these things or things like a duel highway that's taken over twenty year or our second bridge here where I live that's taken over 50 years
