Very underwhelmed..

Pint & Crisps from a fiver?!
Not in London then!

I think I've found a bug in the design. I thought I would test this longevity issue with some personal research and when I went to purchase my 9th pint I found the transaction did not occur. Even worse I was ejected from the programme entirely!Originally Posted by peterb

It looks like the new fivers ain't so indestructible, people have been getting them hot with some rather amusing results.
Could be a Wetherspoons...
One of the real pleasures of my life at the minute is having several pubs within walking distance where a fiver will get you 2 pints plus change (and one where it'll get you three pints).
I first saw the polymer notes in Cancun about 8 years ago. God socked in my pocket while jetskiing and came out fine . Good idea in my book but not seen any yet.
My wife handles all my cash.
Heh, within 10 minutes of posting in this thread I got a new fiver in my change from the train station. Only an AC serial though, so I doubt it's worth more than face value. They're kind of pretty, but as with all significant changes to notes/coins they don't feel like real money yet; give them a couple of years and I suspect we'll not even notice them...!
A pint for less than £1.70. God job I don't know where you live as I probably drink too much as it stands when I'm buying £3 drinks!and one where it'll get you three pints

To be fair you'd have to neck a fair few of those to get drunk as it's a smaller beer than standard (2.8%). Perfect for rehydration after a good climbing session, though
Quite springy - I was holding one by lightly squeezing the long edges and somehow managed to ping it - went about 3 foot.
I can't tell whether Winston is looking at me with something like paternal love or irritation
I reckon he looks constipated. I pointed this out to my wife, who replied "Churchill always looked constipated".
I mean, yes, he did, but I reckon he looks even more constipated on the new fiver...
Got one today... oh well I suppose we'll get used to them eventually
Haven't gotten one yet so I can't judge, although I have used plastic money before on my trip to vietnam and it seemed fairly durable. I'm not too bothered tbh as long as I can spend it!
I am collecting them and will troll seniors with them - mainly those who are not up to date with the news
I had one the other day and it felt like monopoly money or something. Not impressed...
