s/several years/a long time/ :) The current £10 note has Charles Darwin on it, who replaced Charles Dickens' image last year.

I suspect you may now just have a piece of paper. I doubt that banks will take it now. Shops, unless staffed by very inattentive clerks, won't accept it. http://www.bankofengland.co.uk might have some pertinent info (though I doubt it, it's not a great site from the look of it).
