This is easy - Jeremy Clarkson and Jim Clark...

+1 on Jim Clark - There is a sequence of bends named after him at my local track[^]. Before my time, but my dad used to watch him race.

I go along with the dead sentiment, but would you really want to be reminded of his smug mug every time someone handed you a fiver?

I can't believe that nobody has suggested John Lennon.
|

Now, I loved Keith Moon and the Who, but I really don't think he's as big a cultural icon as Lennon or similarly The Who, The Beatles.
I'm not even saying that I was a huge Lennon fan, but his influence on popular music was just incredible. There are others who have had a major impact (e.g., Buddy Holly, Elvis, Hendrix to name but a few), but it's hard to think of anyone who has had more (and he was British!) Moon, I'm sure, influenced many drummers with his energetic style, and he entertained many of us.
I don't see him on a British bank note!

I agree with all of that, but seeing Moon the Loon looking back at you from a bank note would make me smile every single day I saw one.
|
|
|
|
|
 True.
... and one of Sandy Denny would leave me feeling sad, but then I don't see a UK bank note every day anymore!

I suggest they create a one pound coin for him - both the Canadians and the British could then have their Loonies.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
