    Check your wallets/purses - "Elgar" £20 notes no longer legal tender

    ...from 30 June anyway, so you still have a few days.

    Apparently there was an advertising campaign about this but I didn't see it.

    However it seems I'm not the only one so thought I'd mention it here.

    (I know this is a Scottish Forum and it's an English note, but I imagine some of these notes migrate North over the border occasionally, so I'm hoping it's useful info for the Scots too. )
    Love dance, will travel

    I knew about this, but not sure why, think I might have received a message from my bank when I logged in

    I heard it on the radio and saw a poster in the post office.

    However, you should still be able to exchange it at any bank for a new £20 pretty much forever (or at least as long as the Bank of England exists).

    I have a few hundred of those Adam Smith ones in my wallet, most of my Elgar ones I will give to Charity.

    Ah, so you're not just pleased to be dancing with her.
