I can't understand why they don't look at some of the greatest ever Englishmen to adorn our notes...

Such as Winston Churchill or Lord Nelson !!
Rudyard Kipling would get my vote, his poetry's great - although some say a bit unPC for these times so he probably wouldn't get a look in.
Apart from the monarch I don't think we should have any still-living person on our banknotes.
