...I've not got the faintest idea who she is.
As prison reformers and christian philanthropists go surely she's below the Rowntrees or John Howards. If you're going to stick a lady on there, ostensibly purely because she's a lady, then stick someone on there who's a leader in her field.
Barbara Windsor?

The only possible candidate to replace Churchill is Lord Wee Willie of Hague FACT.

God knows what he'll do when he finds out about Jane Austen on the tenners. He hates Austen with a passion.

That said, twelve f**king years on the money and I've still only got a very limited idea of who she was, poor show.

I'm supposed to go flying in my new gentleman's aeronautical carriage this afternoon but the weather seems to be determined to take away even that small distraction.

stuff. So they all went into business semi-collectively - or at least fraternally. Also, chocolate appealed to them as an alternative to the evils of alcohol.
When they got successful, they split amicably into different family brands: Bournville, Fry, Terrys, Rowntrees, Huntley & Palmer, etc.
