Would you like Beckham's face on your
money? It could be like the Elvis stamp debate: which hairstyle makes the bill?

All we got on our bills is the Queen and Prime Ministers.

Christ on a bike, who did they ask about this? I mean, 8% of people think Catherine Zeta Jones is worthy of a place on a bank note? Only 10% would object to Victoria Beckham?

I particularly like the bit that seems to discredit Churchill on the grounds that he's not a handsome chap. Since when was that a criterion for banknote pictures?

Oh, and more modern celebrities? Like Shakespeare?

Its a survey of what, 1000 people? Phone 80 people like Callum and of course they'll say they want to see Zeta Jones on a note.

I reckon if they did that hundred greatest Britons programme again, Beckham would be top 10.

This country is mad.

Britain has officially gone insane. I loathe the day when I may have to say, "Here's 10 Beckhams (or Blairs) for that Ben Sherman shirt".

What's the conversion rate? 1 Madonna= 10 Prince? 1 Dion=5 Chuck Berry?
