ack-ack Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Every so often a true brit emerges from the populous, but some have been in the public eye for so long we take them for granted and only appreciate them when their passing is announced in the media. Who would be on your short list? I'll start with the larger than life brian blessed. What a fine example of a truly eccentric brit! Clues in the title folks, this is nominations for the living only. First person to name a deadun shall have to don the dunces hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickS Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Plenty of "greats" here http://www.projectpropeller.co.uk/ The thing about our country is that it is GREAT Britain. This forum does have a tendency to focus on the relative few *****, ignoring the millions who do their very best on a daily basis. They are what makes this country Great!
