Thank you for curing my ignorance on that matter.

I think maybe the fiver would be good for Sir Churchill, after all. It is more commonly used, I would think.

I have a shining respect for the man, he was just as much an American hero as Washington, he is vastly underrated here across the pond amongst the "rubes". (I.e: people who do not appreciate history)
