Bank of Mumsnet (Light-hearted)

I have just seen that the BoE is looking for suggestions for redesigned banknotes and am now idly wondering if there were a Mumsnet set, what the illustrations may be...

So far I am thinking

A chicken
A fish slice (with or without lube)
A bobble plate

Bank of England to redesign banknotes - and wants your help

The first facelift in more than 50 years signals the possible end of historical figures on notes.
