http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/currency/10020432/Sir-Winston-Churchill-to-appear-on-new-5-banknote.html

The idea seems good but why have we had to wait until 2016, and why include a quote from a long past speech "“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” ?

/// Bank of England's new £5 note in a redesign that governor Sir Mervyn King said could lead to it being redefined as "a Winston". ///

/// “Our banknotes acknowledge the life and work of great Britons. Sir Winston Churchill was a truly great British leader, orator and writer," Sir Mervyn said on Friday. ///

Get ready for 'a Maggie'
