Has to be a non living scientist.

Rarely see a £50 note personally but hey ho.

Fifty cent. He earns a lot of £50 notes. Or at least he is paid a lot of £50 notes.

I think you've probably just highlighted why the public are only being allowed to nominate on this one rather than nominate and vote ! Looks like someone up high has learned a lesson.

Newton was on the £1 bank note, so I'll go for Faraday.

Faraday has been on a note.

I'd personally vote for Turing but I think they'll pick a woman. I reckon it will be Franklin

Another vote for Alan Turing, if it had not been for Ultra it might be Herman Goering on the back of the note.

Turing, a pioneer of science with practical application, not just another theoretical physicist jockey.
