Changing bank note designs

TheCatWoman

This is something that seems to have caused a lot of hoo-ha, the design changes every 10 years, usually with someone different put on them, after a public consultation wildlife was the favourite to replace humans. I don't have a problem with this, but the political right do, with Farage saying replacing Churchill with a badger is a load of woke nonsense, I saw an interview with Churchills grand daughter who said the family were asked before his image was used and were told it would be for 10 years and they had no problem with it changing. Some people are getting het up about there being no women, so I'm guessing female wildlife dosen't count? lol.

I dont' know what they're going to put on each note, but I'd like to see an oak tree on one, not only are they historically significant, but one oak tree supports around 2,000 other species. I'd like to see red squirrels too and Scottish Wildcats.

What about you, what would you like to see and do you have any issues with the changes to bank notes?

  • It's just an excuse for the far right to claim something as being woke, when it isn't, it's a cyclical change. He can go *******. (Insert whatever comes to mind.)

    In Scotland, banks print their own notes, and there are some lovely ones. The Royal has featured wildlife for a while, with mackerel, otters, red squirrels, osprey, plus a poem of the animal too. They are my favourite bank notes. 

    Bank of Scotland has bridges, like the Forth Rail Bridge and the Glenfinnan viaduct (the one that features in the harry potter films).  They are pretty cool too. The Clydebank has famous Scots on theirs.

    I agree Scottish wildcats wood be fun to see, a Welsh polecat perhaps? Birds of prey like a kestrel? A ringlet butterfly? A wild orchid would be cool too. Oh or a minor bee? I mean I could go on all day.
