Your new banknote idea – from British bulldog to Fawalty towers

Although cash may not be as popular as it was, the opportunity to fashion the next series of banknotes is whispering the brain and taunting the tail.

Within a day of reporting on the public invitation of Bank of England to influence a major redesign of banknotes, there were more than 2,000 reactions. Your voice, your BBC On this issue.

Dudley the British Bulldog, depicted on Kavsand Beach in Cornwall, will be at least one of the at least one of the potential contenders, despite being described as “national treasures” by his owner Julie.

But with animals and nature -railway and TV apathy have strongly depicted between ideas.

Images of historical characters starting with William Shakespeare have depicted the notes of Bank of England since 1970.

Now, the bank’s chief cashier Victoria Cleland has suggested images on the next set of notes of £ 5, £ 10, £ 20 and £ 50. Go to a new topicAs seen on Scotland, Nathorn Ireland and banknotes released worldwide.

Bank is giving people a month Select from some subjects, such as architecture, innovation or art, or suggest your own subjects,

The bank has not yet commented on the number of entries, but – if the reactions to the BBC do anything – they are likely to flood.

Among the subjects to be suggested, Britain’s maritime heritage was a celebration.

According to Hillary in London, Mary Rose, HMS Belfast, HMS Treinkomali, HMS Vijay, Katti Sarak, and SS Great Britain are worthy of a place on a banknote.

Bristol’s Charles proceed. “I just do not mean the luxurious beautiful clipper vessels, and immediately recognizable liner, but perhaps some of the some of the known ships trade with the Commonwealth countries, or the oil rig support ships are working hard in the North Sea,” he wrote.

There are appeals for subjects and options to represent the entire country.

The angel of the answer is a regular suggestion, and areas of natural beauty such as Yorkshire Dells.

Mike in Salisbury thinks that using tourist sites on banknotes can benefit.

He says, “Tourists come to England to see main sites like Stonehenge, Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth Tower etc.”

“If the banknotes shown these pictures, they are more likely to go to the site, hold one while taking a photo, and perhaps the note can take the note home as a souvenir.”

Nostalgia is shown heavily, which bring recent historical approaches to notes that have taken images of people of the past for more than 50 years.

Steve in Cardiff says, “Some classic British children’s TV characters such as Willow the Visp, Bagapus, or even one of them will smile to me.”

“Similarly I think some classic British TVs can be represented, like a bill – no punishment – or casualties, soap opera or even Favalty towers such as comedy.

Nostalgia are also involved in the reactions for railways and “local and meaningful” stations.

Ian said in Derby, “With the celebration of 200 years of Railways in Britain, it is not a shame that we have given railways to the world to convince the world.”

Despite the wide range of options, some people are willing to stick to the way of critical figures in history, which are honored on banknotes.

“After seeing all those options that I really feel that historical figures should still be the number one option. Can Wales’s Diana Rajkumari be possible to include somewhere?” Asks Oxford to Elizabeth.

But with cash used in only 12% transactions, some say that the time and effort in a huge overhaul of notes is unnecessary.

“We are unhappy with the possibility of a cashless society, refusing to accept my cash with so many places, so I wonder why are you upset with changing the design?” Dawn says in Redditch.

Ian is very blunt in Leon Buzzard. “I would suggest that new banknotes look like a mobile phone because similarly people are used to pay,” they say.

People can present their views by the bank’s website, or by post by the end of July through online form.
