LONDON–Of 3,000 viewers of UKTV Gold television surveyed, a quarter believe Winston Churchill was mythological and almost half thought the same of King Richard the Lionheart. More than that believed Sherlock Holmes was a real man.
At least, that’s what they told the pollsters. I confess, if someone called me to ask whether I thought various people were fiction or non, I might start making up all kinds of answers. But if they had a camera in my face, I’d probably answer as truthfully as I could.
If you believe in your heart that Sherlock Holmes is real, then he is real for you. (Cue harp music.)
*sniff* That is so true. *sniff*
I believe in fairies. I do, I do. *sob*
lol
Even Doyle didn’t believe in Sherlock Holmes.
And Doyle believed in fairies!
I know Winston Churchill is real. He always left a dime under my pillow whenever I lost a tooth.
Perhaps the Brits don’t know much about Richard Lionheart because the state-sponsored schools aren’t allowed to teach about the Crusades. This political correctness is destroying Western culture.
The fact that 25% of Brits don’t believe Churchill was real is disgusting.
Josh, I’m not willing to go so far to say 25% of all Britons. The survey was by a TV channel of only 3,000 people, and how many of them lied for the fun of it?
Phil … can you stand a bit of wee whimsical nonsense?
