Food for thought

23 April 2008, 09:02

As it's St. Georges Day (yes, I know he was supposed to be a Turk), a local radio station was asking listeners to phone in with the names of great Englishmen, with the proviso that he/she had to be alive and not actors or sportsmen.

The only call suggested Sir Edmund Hillary (yes, I know he was a New Zealander), but it made me think, who qualifies as a "great" Englishman these days?

Do the congregation have any nominations?

The vegetarian option.

Bertrand Russell is dead.
Agree with Hawking and Berners-Lee.
Strange that these 2 are scientists in a country that despises them.
