Escher on the front, and on the back ... oh, it's only got one side. :(

A Mobius bank note!

I'm drinking beer from a Klein bottle. The beer is both outside and inside! I like drilling holes in things because the Euler characteristic decreases by two for every hole.

Topology is as nice as the beer.

I did a course on Topology, and Symmetry, in my 3rd year of degree, as it required "no previous knowledge", so I was qualified. :wacko:

William Caxton

would actually like that one...got a bit of history to it.

maybe william tyndale or john byron.both good calls to.

if we have to go for the token female then emeline pankhurst probably gets a shout.

I think we do need an engineer again rather than a visual artist. Whilst we have had George Stephenson on £5 and James Watt on the £50, I don't think the contribution of the railway pioneers can be understated. I also generally think that the "wimin" put on our notes are less deserving than the men with the exception of our Sovereign. Plus why doe we have a banker on the £50 alongside James Watt.

My options would be:

Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Sir (Herbert) Nigel Gresley

Richard Trevithick

Sir Frank Whittle

John Logie Baird

James Clerk Maxwell

Henry Royce

I also like Alan Turning, though consider him a mathematician.

Of course if Labour had won the election, I am sure we'd have had someone like Martha Lane Fox.

Hooray! More Engineers! Maxwell would be a good choice!

As would any black lady engineers? :blink:
