Unlikely that I'll be using it - but Alan Turing is a good choice to be on it.

He's more worthy of being on the £20 but that decision's been made already.

Why does it have to be a person?

Why not a Yorkshire Pudding or a Cornish Pasty?

I think it's time for a woman. How about Ada Lovelace? An awesome figure in the history of computing but often overlooked. Or has she already been on a note?

Ada has been a Google Doodle - I hadn't heard of her until then.

I cant say I've seen it. I class mr Cumberbitch as an oscar bait actor, along with his buddy Eddie Redmayne. For this reason I try to avoid both of their films.

Indeed, I would certainly be pushing up daisies without the NHS.

Perhaps those immortalised have to be English? Maybe some old archaic rule?

And how special is it that it is the £50 on the 50th anniversary of gay being legalised!

Aren't we all mongrel's in this country? The Queen identifies as the British Monarch, as Prince and Jackson identified themselves as American.

Yes a gay white dude who and if it wasn't for the effort of him and his team the outcome of WW2 could've been very different, there would no place for black dudes in Hitler's super race, this country owes Allan Turing so much yet he was rewarded by being criminalised for being homosexual under some archaic law, he was then treated barbarically and given hormone injections to 'cure' him of his homosexuality, he took his own life and died a criminal and only posthumously pardoned 10 years ago.

He never got the recognition he deserved during the war because of the understandable secrecy that existed.

After the war, he was shunned by the Establishment for reasons unrelated to his work.

He probably did more than other individual to win the war, or accelerate its end, so it is good to see the state finally recognising the contribution he made.

Hmmm.

The Royal Family was exclusively German aristocracy for 200 years.

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon - the late Queen Mother - was the first British person to marry into the family.

So her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, has both German and British heritage.

Her husband Philip is related to the same German dynasty.

They changed their name to Windsor as part of the anti-German propaganda at the start of WW1, when any trace of German influence was erased from public view - German Shepherd dogs became Alsation, the Germanic Ocean became the North Sea etc.

No her descendants were, and technically Germany / Germans didn’t exist prior to 1871 - Coburg was part of Saxon, so ergo probably more British (Anglo-Saxon) than most of us...
