And 23 percent thought World War II prime minister Churchill was made up. The same percentage thought Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale did not actually exist.
Three percent thought Charles Dickens, one of Britain's most famous writers, is a work of fiction himself.

They're no worse than us Americans. Half of American college students can't even pinpoint England on a map!!
Yep those Brits are wayyyy out there. lol
Duuuuuuude! No, they're only losing their grip on dentistry!
That's pretty sad but I'm not shocked. I'm English but living in the US, and I read that over here, a large percentage of the population can't even point out the United States on a globe, or something insane like that. People never cease to disgust me.
no
This is a pool by a TV program, get real!
Don't think so
Winston is a conspiracy, we actually lost the war and are now all German - honest
The world is losing its grip on history. It is being rewritten to satisfy the new, who's fault is it anyway generations...
yes!!
Yep, have you seen the food they eat.
well I'm a Brit and i have to agree with you my friend thought Sweeney Todd was real. if being dumb was a weight then great Britain would be close to sinking.
who does these surveys? ukGold? the only people who watch that chanel are housebound retards who are too fat to mash the tv remote
there are over 12 million people in the UK, 3000 Diagnosis Murder fans are unlikely to be a fair representation.
I would say that we live in very strange times. I shake my head each time I hear someone say that we didn't really walk on the moon either.!
Well no.. if you took a poll on what Americans knew about our country would shame us all.. We all have our heads in our butts on world news and just plain ole stupidity is keeping us there..I bet if you asked most wouldnt know who was running for president now..they just dont care..
ime too disgusted to give a answer....everyone should know there countries history........seamanab
dont know where /who they asked? but it sure was not a true brit that was not questioned.
