Tell me it shouldn't be served up at United Nations Conferences?
It contains a mind control drug.
That's why I'm rice pudding only.
You're already talking about The United Nations.
Case closed.

In my top 10 yellow foods of all time.
Bird's custard is great stuff because it's egg free and I can eat it 
I went on a search for Albert Bird's grave recently - found it and was underwhelmed at how such an eminent Victorian could have such a plain grave stone 
Creme anglaise. I hate French food.

You may be interested in this recent BBC article about which woman's portrait should appear on a future banknote. She is one of the people mentioned.
A very good article.
All the more interesting that i don't know about any of the females suggested.
Even Florence Nightingale has not adorned any notes in 20years!!!
Grace Darling
Jane Austen
Edith Cavell
Emily Bronte
. . . all deserved custard (see what I did there?)
Custard is not enough.
(See what I did there)
But i just said, "Custard is everything" 
my junior school was all girls - the four houses were
Florence Nightingale
Edith Cavell
Grace Darling
Elizabeth Fry
Are there any MODERN females you think are worthy of consideration?
I can't think of any worthy modern women. I was quite interested in starting a thread on School house names, but mebbees too much of a FM giveaway. (My junior school had four houses, the next had three)
Betty Boothroyd?
Princess Diana?
We only had 'Houses' in secondary school.
While it was still Senior and Junior secondary school, It had 4 houses and they were named after areas of the town, but when they introduced comprehensive schooling it increased to six houses and they named them after Scottish islands.
Arran
Bute
Cumbrae
Davaar
Eriskay

Very interesting - and the more i look into it i realise the same people are honoured.
Politicians, writers etc ...
I would like to see an unsung heroine from WW1 or WW2 ... it might even help to educate the public.
Violet Szabo
Edith Cavell
Yes! I remember reading "carve her name...." at school. Good call.
Grace Darling
Marie Curie
Mother Teresa?
Should it not be restricted to Blitish women? If they gave it to that charlatan nun one I would put my foot through the tellybox.
The requirement is someone who made a lasting contribution to British Society.
Update:
"They must have made a lasting contribution to society, have a widely recognised name, not be controversial, and there must be good artwork on which a design can be based."
Thatcher ?
I'd rather Unity & Diana Mitford than Thatcher.
just the reason why they say "not controversial"
