Just the thing for betting with socialists
A new £20 note design with Adam Smith on it.
I would also like banknotes with John Locke, David Hume, Wellington (again), Churchill, Disraeli,William Robert Peel, Cromwell, Generals Wolfe and Moore and the Duke of Marlborough.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
And Maggie. That'll be the day.
Would work for me, but she still walks the earth. There are probably a few C19th Whigs / Libs I'd commemorate too. Well, Palmerston at least.
WOlfe should be top of the list.anyone who gives the frencha kicking etc
Oh, yes, I forgot it was only dead heroes. Well, later, a long time in the future, perhaps.
Amen - Not for many more years, I trust.
oo I think Maggie will be shuffling of the old mortal coil pretty soon now . It must be an alarming thing to be old and famous. Apparently the moment Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with ,what some here would call ”His just deserts “ ,and I would call AIDS ,the death industry began. As he drove around he passed warehouses filling up with “dead Freddie” merchandise every day . One of the reasons “Queen had bad back” made the front page is that they store up this cheap and easy obituary stuff and it just overflows onto the page at the slightest excuse. I would like to live forever through my work …and by being down loaded into a succession of donor bodies. Second one only if pushed.
William Peel ? The third son of Robert Peel. Isn`t that a bit obscure. He seems like an estimable chap with VC an `all but would anyone recognise him. I don`t suppose , be still my beatng heart , the mighty C has commited an error?
Oh please let it be so
Palmerston ah yes "civis Croydonius sum" lets send a gun boat to Lewisham , or Lambeth.
N - Yup, I just screwed the pooch. Robert Peel. I knew it wasn't 'John', and William has such a nice ring to it....
Ode to Joy is playing at full blast as read this admission again and again and again. ..
I am actually a very modest and self-effacing chap, and you are a miserable toerag Paul.
So much for 'alle menschen werden bruden', eh?
I `d have brazened it out.
Allen Suendern soll vergeben,
What about Friedrich Hayek? He became a British citizen in 1938 and remained so for the rest of his life....
IT - yup, he would grace our currency. One of many fine people to take up British citizenship.
Being Britn it shd be Kate Moss, Nikki Grahame, Bob Geldof or similar. Whine Looney etc etc etc

Yeah, stand by for the 'Big Brother' collection....
Surely not Cromwell, was that a mispring?
I mean misprint? Though if Cromwell had had a "mispring", he might have smiled a bit more. His ghost haunts his former house in my nearby city of Ely, I guess his spirit will be out celebrating Halloween tomorrow.
Elle, I've got republican tendencies....
Darn it, I'd hoped that your William was the fictional William Brown, of "Just William" and heaps of other jolly good reads.
Nobody's come up with any (cough) Welsh nominations. Dylan Thomas perhaps?
The English language has imported the entire Latin vocabulary and most of it several times via romance languages. Additionally large amounts of Dutch ,Scandanavian and so and so on.
The Welsh have given us the word "Penguin" ..Thats it.
Like Dylan Thomas for his fatness debauchery and poetry .What about these as Welsh entries.
Henry Morgan -Pirate and Govenor of Jamaica
George Herbert -Anglican Poet
Both ancestors of my wifes!
AND the best three quarter line ever anywhere
Gareth Edwards , Phil Bennet,Steve Fenwick , Ray Gravell, JPR, JJ and Gerald Davies .
PS Other ancestors of Mrs. Newmania were certainly slaves . Hope PHITCH doesn`t want to repatriate her.( Until my next divorce that is)
PPS who dearieme ,she funny.
Nelson, surely?
Anon - good call.
