Nominate a scientist for the new £50 note.

I was chatting to the fitter when getting new tyres the other week. He suggested Tim Berners-Lee but I pointed out as you had to be dead to qualify, I felt he would decline the honour.

I suppose that my old chemistry teache , long deceased, qualifies so may I nominate 'Slogger Sledge'.

He really was great and enjoyed teaching - particularly if he could explode something during the lessons.

Personally I'd like to see Rosalind Franklin but I don't think she has enough name awareness for our current generation.

It's a huge list, there are a lot of unknown to me names on there.

I think Stephen Hawkings will probably be on it?

I can't actually remember if I've ever held a £50 note, or even seen one? Who uses them?

I always thought they were only used by those on pensions from the education sector.
