I still have mine. Do I need to get another one?
there was something about this last year, apparently it was going to be October but I've heard nothing since so it may just have been an intention that never got to fruition.

Apparently the paper counterpart is to be abolished this year, followed by the actual paper licences next year:

Tora, that link is from 2011, and is now incorrect.

Paper counterparts are to go in Jan 2015, but old style paper licences pre 1998 are not being abolished.

You may well keep it until you're 70 years old, I did. You will then trade it in for a new plastic photo licence.
Yes Hopkirk, well done for finding the up to date answer to this.
Ah, so an end to, "May I see your licence sir", when stopped from chicaning down the road from the ale house ?
Not so OG. You will have to show your plastic photo driving licence.
