They don't notice when the queen has been turned in to a zombie, they don't notice when you pull the metal strip off, they don't even notice when you hand them a bit of blank paper instead of a £20 note... ;) May start marking my own notes, and see how long one takes to come back to me. P.s. Hippo Bathday to DB. Let the mid-life crisis begin! (Assuming it hasn't already :D ) Was my 17th two days ago. Got a DVD of the brilliant 'Crooked House'. :) Shop keepers never notice anything, do they?

That makes me smile!

Like _JonBaxter_ I too know 'someone' who pulled the metal strip out of 'her' notes, don't even remember why, but it was easy & you're right - noone ever noticed. Can't do it on the new ones though, 'she' just tried ;) Back in the eighties I took to signing every note that passed through my hands just to see how long it took one to come back to me (17 months if you care).
