Jimothy Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 It did make me laugh when I first read campaigners (ie feminists) were kicking up a stink because a man was replacing a woman on Britain's shittiest bank note. There are 3 other notes, and there's never been any suggestion a woman wouldn't replace a man on one of those, which from the article above seems to be likely to happen. Love it when campaign groups throw their toys out the pram before the full story is told. No doubt now they'll b claiming it was their pressure that forced Mervyn King's hand. Just as I said the campaigners are claiming they've forced the BofE hand to implement this. Even though the BofE have stated Austen was always in mind to replace Darwin. Typical campaign group getting in a tizz about something that was never an issue anyway, then shouting about how good they are when what was going to happen happens anyway. Idiots.
ADK Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 I reckon they should put the queen on both sides just to **** with people.
Jace Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 I think it is about time we had waterproof plastic notes like Australia
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 Nigel Pearson. Anyone who has made a positive impact on our country.
BoneDog Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 That woman who used to teach dogs on tv. She used to say "SIIIIT" and had an air of authority. I think her name was Woodhouse.
Carl the Llama Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 Has everyone forgotten about the God damn Queen?
The Doctor Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 Why is Austen being chosen as a women on a bank note - everyone knows she was a huge Yorkshireman with a beard like a rhododendron bush Still, getting rid of Darwin? Man was one of the greatest minds Britain has ever produced. Why not just **** Churchill off and put Austen on the 5 pound note instead.
