I'm bloody tired.....

Did not get back to sleep until about 5:30am and when the alarm went off at 7am it was not a welcome noise....anyway...I guess nothing can be more unwelcome than finding out that America seems to think that Ronald Reagan is the greatest American of all time....

Britain had her poll in 2002 and the result was Churchill although when the poll was opened up to the world at large it seems that Isaac Newton is the Brit of choice. Quite how Diana, Princess of Wales made it to number 3 in both polls I am not sure....

Germany did something similar in 2003, they did, however, bar Hitler and his ilk from being nominated. Austria was offended that Mozart had been included in the German short list and the eventual winner was Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
