Needless to say blf will be geting my first plastic tenner.
Have read allsorts from animal fat to way slide out of pockets.
Like how do blind people tell the difrance.
I just hope blf are fan of jane thingy bob 
Jefff.on your eventual return to the planet earth can you please explain who jane thingy bob is and to her relevance to this new £10 note,sorry i don't get out much!....skis
Hi i defo have feet on ground not sure those who thought up these new notes have.
Jane thingy bob is some author or some thing like that 
Whos face is plastered all over new tenner.
I hate the plastic notes. The fivers slide up out of my purse. I suppose there will be lucky folk finding 5s and 10s on the floor!
Defo i agree with you there i have lost 5s but never found any.
Do slide to easy out of pockets BUT guess thats what powers that be want .
That will be Jane Austen then - one of the country's most famous authors. Pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility to name a couple of her most popular books.
I'm a fan of Jane Thingymybob. She's being talked about on the Beeb this morning.
Jane Austen is she JAS, famous writer from many years ago. You do make me smile.
I didn't realise we were getting plastic £10 notes too. Oh dear. Xxxx 😀😘
Just wait for the plastic Twenties and Fifties.
BTW does anyone know when the new £20 is due out please?

Thank you. I am hoping that they keep the same colour.
Jane Austen on the £10 pound note. She was a gret novelist in the 18th century wrote "Sense and Sensability" "Pride and Predjustis" among her 6great novels. Her books were mainly about the Gentry. A few movies made and TV series. I think Anthony Hopkins played in some.
Hi Jeff, thanks for update did not know tenners were changing or that Jane thingy bob was on the front But had a laugh while trying to fathom it out. You are right too how can blind tell the difference they look the same size as a fiver Oh and on the subject of updated currency, the new pound is good for poor sighted however it does not fit in the pound coin holders that many arthritic people use. Always a hitch to change
Toy town money for a Mickey Mouse world JAS. I don't think Jane thingy Bob would have approved at all. I prefer paper money too, the fivers are far too slippery and you make a good point about the blind not being able to tell the difference.
Hi Jeff, I do wonder how many people actually like reading Jane thingy bob's old fashioned and repetitious books or really watch the TV adaptions in the hope of seeing another Mr Darcy emerging from his lake in a wet shirt.
They are only revealing it today.
Comes into circulation in September.
Maybe I need to start using a wallet again!
The full design of the new plastic £10 note will be revealed by Bank of England governor Mark Carney at Winchester Cathedral on Tuesday.
The note, which follows the polymer £5 note into circulation, is likely to be available for use in September.
It will feature a portrait of Jane Austen and is being launched on the 200th anniversary of her death.
Jas,You now have enough background info on Jane thingy bob to be the new arts and literature correspondent for BBC 2,but you will have to give up your job at the treasury first.good luck mate
Hi Jeff an update on the new tenner, apparently they are busy putting blobs on them for blind to recognise they are a tenner and not realeasing them till next week I am informed today.
Oh so these new tenners are the same size as the fivers? My partner is blind (and after living in the UK for 13 years) is still confused about currency...this won't help matters much. Guess we'll all adjust...
