If you think Nessie is Britain's best known Scot then I'll have some of what you are drinking GOOD news for the Loch Ness monster which has just been voted the best known Scot in Britain despite the fact that a) she is a monster of uncertain nationality, and b) she does not exist. Minor quibbles, I think you will agree. So how come Nessie topped this prestigious poll? Some clue may come from the fact the survey was conducted by the maker of Crabbies Green Ginger Wine, a potent brew favoured by those unruly types within our society who like to get off their heads quickly on cheap sweet booze, or pensioners, as I like to call them. One can only assume that many of the respondents had partaken of the drink before questioning. I don't know if you have ever tried drinking a couple of bottles of Crabbies on the bounce but, let me tell you, if you do, the appearance of monsters in the room, while very likely to occur, is the least of your worries. As usual the survey's conclusions have been dismissed, largely on the grounds that they are the opinions of the general public. One critic even derided the poll as another example of our preference for vacuous celebrity over men or women of real achievement. How Nessie, who has never been spotted at all, never mind spotted emerging from a nightclub while flashing her nether regions, can be regarded as a witless celebrity is beyond me. There again I do not believe in Britney Spears either. |
