So the Bank of England are going to be redesigning all of the bank notes, and are asking the public for ideas on themes.
Sorry Republicans, King Charlie will remain on one side though.
What would you want on there? A change? Or stick with historical figures?
Silly answers accepted

As the king is a Burnley fan they should be claret and blue
. Wouldn't have to change the colour for William either.

It'll offend whatever they do so just put all ideas into a randomizer and be done with it.

It'll be dead people, with at least as many females as males. And it won't be Margaret Thatcher, and it probably won't be a suffragette. Rosamund Franklin might get on as the best-known female scientist.

I would prefer natural images (landscapes, native flora and fauna) rather than people or buildings.

George Eliot might be a good outside bet.
Likely to be a literary figure among them.

The way he arseholes his way around royalty and the powers that be they will make an exception for him and he wouldn't accept anything less than being on a fifty pound note.
