Just for laughs, they should wait until the note is 6-12 months in circulation, and then quiz the public on who 'that dude' is & what he is famous for...
But it'll be a while before you can get your hands on one:
The new polymer £50 note is expected to enter circulation by the end of 2021.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

That's great news and we'll deserved.
Mrs J arranged a visit to Bletchley Park for my 50th. It was a wonderful day out. Lots to see and do. Well worth a visit.
