Nor am I, but I’d take 2 or 3 per week when I was driving a Black Cab in London.
I'm in two minds about this from a value perspective, on the one hand a £50 is obviously the highest value note officially in monetary terms and therefore commands a rarity aspect, but then again almost no one really uses them... so the value to me is lost, he should have been on the £10 note frankly, far more used.
It should have been in peoples faces every day, the persecution of a hero because he wasn't "normal", indeed it was the start of the mental health saga in this country in my mind.

AFAIK the Scottish £100 note is still a legal currency in the whole of the UK. I did get a few years ago, in payment for a car, and no one would accept one save a bank. Some shopkeepers were even adamant they were fakes.
Across society, people are being selected for things based upon membership of a victim group, to such an extent that the selection of any person who is part of a victim group must now be viewed with suspicion.
A relative of mine was just selected for an academic award, even though he failed his exams. Why? Because he was the only homo in the group.
All women shortlists for political posts......
STEM jobs going to females/ BAME/ LGBT rather than the best candidate.
And so on. It's happening everywhere.
If some white, hetero male was put on a note, then I'd conclude that it was a choice made upon fair considerations. Otherwise, it's suspect.
The solution is a return to selection based upon merit.

Do you refer to your relative as a homo to their face?

yeah, I don't think anyone give a **** about the history of anyone on a note when they pull out a wad to pay something.I'm in two minds about this from a value perspective, on the one hand a £50 is obviously the highest value note officially in monetary terms and therefore commands a rarity aspect, but then again almost no one really uses them... so the value to me is lost, he should have been on the £10 note frankly, far more used.

playing devils advocate.....
'homo' is a clipped form of the correct longer word and the poster you quoted used the mirror clipped word for 'heterosexual in the same post.
Personally is think Turing is a candidate of note in the history of the UK and northern Ireland without consideration of his sexual proclivities and somewhat suspicious death.
