More hilarity from the UKGold site itself -

Top ten fictional characters that the British public thinks are real
1) King Arthur - 65%
2) Sherlock Holmes - 58%
3) Robin Hood - 51%
4) Eleanor Rigby - 47%
5) Mona Lisa -35%
6) Dick Turpin - 34%
7) Biggles - 33%
8) The Three Musketeers - 17%
9) Lady Godiva - 12%
10) Robinson Crusoe - 5% 


 Notice anything? Numbers 5 & 6? Actually real people, aren't they? 
 So our 3rd rate TV stations are as ignorant as the general population. 

 I feel a huge welling-up of patriotic pride. My people!
