Should not those on the banknotes have made an outstanding contribution
to the UK, and be known to a substantial majority of citizens.

The Governor of the Bank of England when it was founded is a bit
off the mark, really (our 50 pound note), but then the 50 pound note
is rarely used in everyday transactions.

Nelson and Churchill strike me as two outstanding candidates, but neither
had beards, which I gather makes it more difficult for forgers
(but then neither does Elizabeth Fry!)

Ah, they were native German speakers rounded up in Munich. If they had
been English, they could have sung their own songs and kept the Grammy.

Could someone kindly say WHO Francis Barber is, and
why he should appear on a UK banknote.
