You can create 18 accounts from that £20 (plus 4.95% charge... so £20.99 in reality) intial load, since each card requires a minimum balance of £1 and it's £0.10 to transfer money to a card... so you will have £0.20 left over. For any future loads the minimum is £10 only, plus the 4.95% charge
That £1 minimum balance is just enough to cover the £1 charge that PayPal do to verify that the card exists... but if you want to confirm the card on your account, have at least another pound to cover their £1 confirmation charge (which is refunded into your PayPal account after you confirm the code sent).
If you want to get anywhere near £20 you will almost certainly need to send them some ID though... you will likely become restricted before you reach that point.
Edit: You can't verify a UK account with a card only. You need a bank.
