OK thanks- bit of a guess but I reckon I have probably heard it before and had it buried in the subconcious.

Can you name the top ten Britons of all time as voted for by the people in that millenium thingy foir the BBC?

Nope.

But I'll guess Winston Churchill and Diana, just to get the obvious ones out the way.

Might have to check later but will go from memory for now and say yes and yes.

mister Beckham?
can't believe that dozy trollope diana is in there but not Her Majesty. to me that is appalling

Nope and nope and nope! Becks was I believe higher than Dickens which is perhaps a sad reflection on today's society

Hideously, I believe Robbie Williams was one. I hope I'm thinking of a different list.

i'm doing well then

i do think though that David Beckham has been a phenomenal role model for the young over the last 10 years.

erm. shakespeare is probably in there, there are probably some dorises too. florence nightingale? bella emburg?

Different lsit Weylando- thats probably one of those lists that has "Angels" at the top.

Shakespeare yes. There is only one more bird to get and its neither of those two.

maybe queen victoria?

Northern Monkey · Post by **Northern Monkey** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:24 am

Nope

Might have to set up a hot-key to avoid keep having to type "Nope"

Vary it a bit - try different languages. As long as it starts with "N" we'll know what you mean.

Thatcher?

Charles Darwin, John Lennon.
