At least three party leaders are women and they should feature on stamps and bank notes now. Natalie Bennett, Kirsty Williams and Leanne Wood :-) |

1916 is in about three hours, according to my watch, Merlin. Think NS meant 2116, when Tories will next get in :-) ;-) |

My grandad met Winston during WW1, dad says in France/ Belgium. He had a framed photograph of him on his living room wall where it stayed till grandad passed away. |

Elizabeth Fry featured on the £5 note. |

and I guess that the reason for him being on the £5 now, is that the £5 was the next one in line for replacement. |

I don't see much chance of any of today's politicians, irrespective of which party they represent, featuring on British banknotes any time in the future. |

Jonesey. Only a very few celebrated. Several mourned. And a lot ignored. |
