Sad day for Brits

[Heraclitus]

It makes perfect sense Arrian! Bush needed an ally to invade Iraq so he just invented one! He used the powers granted to him by the patriot act and a device (the same one used in the 1940's to brainwash all American communists into religius fundies) called F.A.K.E. to change the noosphere of the enitre planet!


In short: I blame Bush for the Britain!

[Lorizael]

I'd like to know how the questions were worded here.

The saddest thing of all is that some people believe the bull**** that this kind of 'poll' comes up with to grab some newspaper headlines.

I routinely lie on polls and census forms.

Uhh, except perhaps James Bond?

Sean Connery while a UK citizen, isn't English. Probably easier to believe in a bad ass Scotsman.

Excellent trolls sirs.


Dino - Implying Brits aren't bad ass alone was weak, but Kuci turned it around by implying that James Bond was real. Not to be outdone Dino demonstrates a lack of understanding of that fact and then trumps it with a further lack of understanding - namely that Scots are in fact Brits too.

Bah! Next you'll tell me the Welsh aren't overly friendly with livestock. Good day to you!

[DrSpike]

I think there may be a clue here:

"UKTV Gold television surveyed 3,000 people"

[DinoDoc]

That's a plenty large sample for a population that size, Spike. Unless you know something about UKTV Gold the rest of us don't.

[DrSpike]

The quibble was not about the sample size, which appear adequate as you say.

You give me too much credit.

Interesting hypothesis, how do you explain the posters caliming to be British?

To understand, you have to grasp this: There is no posters claiming to be British.

[DrSpike]

I'm British.

They were too frightened of the truth to release the poll results on Harry Potter.

On the other hand, any study which gives me license to say "Suck it" to Mobius is, at least in that one respect, a good thing.

I think you'll find I've been moaning about the rapid dumbing down of our education system for a while - I even did an entire thread about it not so long ago involving a particularly troubling trip to a Subway...

It's true, in a few years time at this rate our education system will be almost as bad as the US'
