A mate of mine keeps telling me to try the £10 note instead, apparently it's wild

..it's a bit dumb if they're ok to go through a washing machine/can't tear/indestructible etc but they can be erased with something that a child uses......poor Elizabeth endorsing dodgy merchandise, when would William have done...

turns out if you turn the pencil around a scribble on the £5 note that also ruins it

So much for the £20 billion, squillion, it has cost for all those boffins and designers to come up with this 'not fit for purpose' piece of crap, if it can be erased with a fecking pencil rubber.

it is currency, so if you don't look after it, its your own fault surely. I don't see it as a big deal Its much better than a paper note, and nothing iis going to be perfect. I mean, its plastic, so don't put it in the fire as it will burn

Common sense is surely the phrase that is appropriate
