I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

New Ten pound note
The new ten pound note has been released, It may be the last new instance of physical money in my lifetime in the UK.
On this new ten pound note, Charles Darwin has been replaced by Jane Austin, she is a famous English writer. I have never read "pride and prejudice" or any other books she wrote because I'm not into novels. I am more into true life mystery factual books and back stories to sci-fi movies but I'm sure her work is outstanding.
If I designed a Ten pound note, it would not have any faces on it at all. It would have the UK flag and rough map of the UK with the main roads on it. And three transport maps of the three biggest cities, and of course it would have all the security trimmings such as water marks and holograms and micro printing. It would have the number ten in the middle of it.
