is it the job of the designers to be truly representative? if so, why not include mary seacole of wilfred wood? where should the line be drawn (if at all)?

I'm glad they chose Ada Lovelace to be in the passport pics.
Re: women in the pics. Do we really have to be completely representative of every facet of human achievement in Britain? They can't fit everyone in.
Is Isambard Kingdom Brunel in there? Perhaps he should be. I saw a quiz show the other day where a question was which engineer designed Paddington Station and the Bristol Suspension Bridge (or something like that). The contestants couldn't even guess at a famous engineer and looked clueless when told the answer. Sorry, I'm going a bit off topic, but can we have IKB in a prominent place, please?
