    You know you are a contractor when.....

    The news that a particular £50 note is going to be retired is cause for grave concern and makes you itch to get back home and check all the ones you have to make sure you're not going to get caught out.

        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  My father-in-law still has a £1 note from the British Linen Bank in his wallet.

                  I showed him one for sale on Ebay for £160, but he won't let go.

                    Doesn't apply to Suity. They won't accept them.
