hi patchett - what is the bank note question?

[patchett]

Question is What was the surname of the u s president who was born on the same date as the person who currently appears on the back of a Bank of England bank note.Have worked it out to Lincoln born 12 Feb 1809.

Hi furrypusscat.Just got pc back on line.Iagree withDarwin and Lincoln both born 12 Feb 1809 but I think Taft was born 15 Sept 1857 and Elgar 2 June same year.Still wish Icould get "ugly and distorted"one.Cheers
