The people chosen by the BBC's internet poll as The Most Famous Britons of All Time deserve to be in the top ten in some way, shape, or form, I guess. But given I vacationed in England for two weeks during the summer of 2000 and have eaten crumpets, I think my own list of most famous Brits is the definitive one. So here then are my greatest British people of all time. Read and learn, mates.
10. Richard Dawson
No list of great Britons would be complete without the sexiest game show host of all time. Richard Dawson was awesome. He got to kiss all the women on the show. Some were ugly, but some were pretty too. Man, that guy was lucky. I remember rushing home from school everyday to watch "The Feud." Sometimes I watched the show bare-chested. I rooted for the black families because they always seemed to need the money more. Unless there was a white family that's members all sort of looked alike in a really off-putting way, then I'd root for them, even though they scared me. I always loved it when a contestant guessed "makin' whoopee" for an answer...wait, that was "The Newlywed Game." Man, that show rocked too...Is Bob Eubanks British? If he is, then take Richard Dawson out and put in Bob Eubanks. Now there's a guy with style!
9-5. Rhona Martin, Margaret Morton, Fiona MacDonald, Janice Rankin and Debbie Knox (The 2002 Gold Medal Winning British Women's Curling Team)
No quintet of women ever rocked the sporting community harder than these five lasses did in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Just when you thought curling couldn't get any sexier, these five ice foxes dazzled us with their sweeping and sliding. While they haven't been the best at responding to fan mail, I understand that they are probably swarmed with hundreds of letters daily, so I'm doing my best not to take it personally.
