Back in 1989 there was an episode of Only Fools and Horses called Yuppy Love where Trigger said the line “I saw one of them old £5 note the other day”.

Jump forward to today, and, should you to wish to try and impress some “yuppy sort”, you could try the same line, as, significantly, the old £5 note ceases to be legal tender after May 5th 2017. (which just happens to be 5-5)  Roll Eyes

Here’s the full episode, go to 30 mins for the start of the sketch

How long have the new notes been in circulation? Doesn't seem very long between the new ones appearing & the old ones being phased out.

They were introduced in Sept 2016 according to the Bank of England link  Wink
