Who would you like to see on the note, and why?

It doesn’t necessarily have to be feasible, but the rule is, they must be British (obv).

I personally would go for Attenborough, although it’ll never happen.

//I know quite a few people who would be happy to see Dame Shirley Bassey gracing the back of a £20 note. //

no argument there SP. unless, that is, an excuse could be found to get Madonna on there.....

Frank Pantridge I'd go for as after Brexit we are gonna need something to revive the pound . Seriously He needs to recognised for his invention .

Well not to worry he hasn't missed out, you've snuck him in. :-)

[Peter Pedant]

he has to be dead doesnt he ?

protocol dictates that the only live person to be depicted blah blah etc

what about Boaty mcboatface - it would a worthy record that Attenborough was beaten twice by the same thing in a naming contest

Harry Patch.

I'd go with that mush all day long, probably upset the anti British though, they'd probably put Saint Mandella on it.

[NellieMay]

Bowie

[sapelesam]

I would put Field Marshal Montgomery on the list.

[DTCwordfan]

I'd have it blank, so that one could write notes on the back with a crayon, like a shopping list - and given it's plastic, it should be able to be wiped clean.

[DTCwordfan]
