Greatest ever BriTon

Donut · 10-29-2002, 06:36 PM

The BBC is running a programme to decide who was the greatest ever Briton of the past 2000 years. 33,000 people gave nominations and the top 100 were listed last weekend. Over the past 2 weeks we have been shown documentaries on the top 10 and the British people are voting on who out of the ten was the greatest. I invite you to vote to see if you agree with the British people.

My greatest ever Briton is responsible for saving hundreds of millions of lives but is not considered great enough to be in the top 10.

Please give your reasons for your selection.

Er - it might help me if you told me if you voted for LoA.

There are only 2 that I would disagree with. The other 8 all have their good points.
