I have to say this, I get this plug in every once in a while, hopefully soon

But this'll mean the Scots will need to agree first - It'll take
another couple of hundred years for that to happen. Nice idea
though... you think they'll issue some new currency?


Personally I can't see it ever happening at all. There are more Scots
and of Scots descent in England than there are in Scotland. It is all
part of our longer term plot to over run them by outbreeding.


How about:

£50 - Mel Gibson
£100 - Sean Connery
£200 - Dave Parrish
£500 - Billy Connolly
£1000 - Donald Dewar

Thanks

Given that The Cldesdale bank is owned by an Australian bnaking group, i
am surprised that we don't already have a `Meller' (or at least some
bounding marsupial as a watermark).

Sean Connery is much better `liked' overseas than he is in Scotland.
That he lives overseas is perhaps for the best. Let the country which
hosts him put him on their banknotes I say.

Now as for Dave. Having already attained prominence in The Sunday Post
he is well on the way to having his fizzog appear on a note. Whether it
be a banknote or other remains to be seen for the moment.

Billy Connelly?......as much chance of that as John Pertwee appearing on
a BofE note wearing his Wurzel Gummidge head.

Donald Duck maybe.....? ....but that ranks up there alongside the
probabilities of Beckham appearing on any bona fide banknote.
