Looks like the Bank of England are after design ideas for the new banknotes. This will only end splendidly.

I’m sure there’s one or two on here who are handy with crayons and a pritt stick, why don’t we share our best efforts.

Please print the new notes on proper "paper" like the Euro notes are.

I hate our plastic money with a vengeance. They have a tendency to stick together and it's sometimes easy to offer two notes.

how about Bob Vylan, clenched fists raised aloft with a bit of a 'pop art' colour scheme - cultural icon that he is?

Remember the competition for a logo for the London 2020 Olympics? One that looked suspiciously like the Goatse image (don't google it at work if you're not aware of it!) made it on the BBC website, and they ended up with one that looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job biggrin



Fun fact about bank note designs, the bridges on the Euro bank notes are all fictitious, so a town in the Netherlands built them all biggrin

Rainbow notes!

As an aside, I used to sit in a park for lunch most days at work

Some old bloke would always buy his lunch with a tenner and get the change which included a note

Everyday he used to finish his lunch get a pen out and spend a little while writing or drawing on the note

Was never brave enough to ask him what he was upto, but always checked to see if he was doing it

Keep it simple.

Portrait of Charlie then

'Fiver'
'Tenner'
'Twenty quid'
'Fifty quid'

Keep the same colours as they are now. Simple.

I'm none of the above letters, but I'd like rainbow notes.

Not all of them or they'd be hard to tell apart.

Maybe someone at the seaside, their car parked on the middle of a roundabout, and they're having a dump in someone's front garden?

What s the point?

In a few years, loads of us will either be round the back of Lidl wking off tramps for coins, letting lorry drivers stick their finger up our bum for a 12 week old loaf of bread or partying with a group of millionaires who will be trying to make us airtight before chucking us out on the street covered in what looks like cat sick with nothing but a £10.00 voucher for the local McDonalds. Which at the current rate of inflation will buy you two nuggets.

Most of us probably won’t remember what a £20.00 note looks like, let alone have one in our back pocket. While all the time, the rich will be waving their phones at the underclass who work in their local coffee shop to buy their caramel chi lattes.



And now over to Tom with the weather. How s it looking out there Tom?

Eddie: Four pints of mild please, Dick.
[Puts cash note on the counter]
Dick Head: What's this?
Eddie: It is a one-hundred and thirty-seven Krugerrand note.
Dick Head: [Examining the note] Bloody hell, is that Dick Emery? Didn't know he could ride.
Eddie: No, he's not riding, that's Princess Anne.
