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.

No point in picking Prince Charles, by 2020 he might be on the front of it, look odd if he was on both sides! I'd vote for Alan Turing.
I think Larry the cat outside no: 10, where he's waiting for those rats to show up...
William Cobbett - a true radical and reformer

or perhaps Tony Benn ...
David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Sir Peter Cushing, Sir Christopher Lee, Roald Dahl, Elizabeth Taylor, Alan Turing, Cary Grant ( Born in Bristol ), George Michael (Born in Finchley, North London), Beatles mentor, George Martin, John Lennon...and a few more...are my choices. :-)
Emmeline Pankhurst or Alan Turing
Margaret Thatcher may be a tad controversial.... although Churchill amazingly slipped through the politically correct net somehow!

How about Del Boy?
I would personally love to see William Wilberforce on there.
Mary Seacole (I know she's not British)

//Boris Johnson , He would be delighted. //

Boris was born in New York, USA.
How about some true revolutionary spirits? Thomas Paine or Oliver Cromwell.

Paine was a leading figure in both the American and French revolutions. Cromwell is credited with creating the beginnings of Parliamentary democracy and rightly has a statue outside the Houses of Parliament.
Cromwell seems a good choice. Anyone got a photo of him to use ?
Hazi, TGL has not been dead quite long enough but she will certainly be on notes i the futire. TGM has already been on notes.
Mikey?
I think also I. K. Brunel.
Nothing would please me more than to include Attenborough, although the rule seems to be that you have to be dead first.
Nelson...................................
not Mandela.
Please, not Maggie.
Don't really care who's on it just so long as I have plenty of them.
