Greatest Living Briton

| 3 Comments | View blog reactions

The Sun is searching for the greatest living Briton. Apparently that would be "the ultimate accolade", though I don't really understand how being the seen as the greatest living Briton would be a greater accolade than, say, being the greatest Briton of all time.

All in all, it's typical Sun nonsense. At least they included Tim Berners-Lee on the list (even if they did describe him as the "creator of the internet").

If you're going to vote. Please vote wisely.

Perhaps they were trying to be funny with that list.

I dunno, given the choice between being the greatest living briton and the greatest dead one I think I'd chose the former.

I voted for Gordon Ramsay, but then I realised I'd misread it as the Greatest Livid Briton.
