Scotland has coped with native wildlife on its banknotes for years, I'm pretty sure England will too. Dozens of countries do it, from what I've read today. Wildlife done well can look beautiful and detailed drawings create notes harder to forge.

I just think it's bizarre for politicians to get exercised over this - they can, like the public, vote for their preference, otherwise stfu!

Very bizarre of ED to come out with this!

Churchill has a statue in Westminster and about a million other things commemorating him. He'll cope with being replaced on a banknote.

FFS, what is wrong with politicians in England?? Scotland has had wildlife on banknotes for yonks and the world has not ended, nor has anyone forgotten Churchill.

Post, you say? Nothing here for a week (the book was a parcel is why it was timely). And heaven knows when my mother will get the mother's day card I posted yesterday morning!

I just had to bite the bullet, take the interest free loan and grit my teeth. Finished paying it off in Nov! I was glad I did when the neighbour's went midwinter and she had to wait a week til they had a slot to replace it. Adulting is not fun...

The BoE doesn't ask the govt for permission to change banknote designs

There was a public consultation

The woman who campaigned to get a woman on a banknote got death threats

Native wildlife already features on some UK bank notes

The collective noun you are looking for is "a shower of" ...

Mine did around 40 years, only replaced after a guy servicing it said "it still works but if it stops working we literally can't get any parts". I replaced it rather than have it die midwinter and leave me freezing - as happened to my neighbour a year later, whose system was the same age.

Arts, culture and creativity is a large part of what makes us human. AI isn't intelligent, it can't think or feel; it can't create, only imitate.
