Plastic banknotes have been in circulation worldwide for decades and Britain is way behind the curve on this.  ::)

They certainly won't be as good as the current paper ones. Too shiny and slippery.

Means I'll have to go back to using Andrex  ::)

Even though they are made from high-quality linen based paper, low denomination notes last about two years before they are destroyed. This was the reason for the £1 coin replacing the note; I'm surprised the £5 hasn't gone the same way.

Does this mean we can have the £1 note back as I hate having change in my pocket.

Only about twenty years. Which is probably not enough time to draw any worthwhile conclusions ;D
