10 most trusted People in Britain.

I came across an old copy of Readers Digest (2006) and an article entitled 'The 100 most trusted People in Britain' according to a survey they had done then. I'm to lazy to list the lot of them, but I thought some of you might be interested to know the first 10, here are the nominees and see if you can list them in the correct order 1-10. I know it's not a quiz but chance your arm anyway, If you get the first 3 correct you are brilliant and if you get them all you deserve to be knighted yourself, I don't think anybody can Google the answers.

Esther Rantzen. (1)
Sir Cliff Richard. (2)
Bill Oddie. (3)
Sir Richard Attenborough. (4)
Allen Titchmarsh. (5)
Dame Judi Dench. (6)
Gary Lineker. (7)
Michael Palin. (8)
Rolf Harris. (9)
Sir Trever McDonald. (10)

I can let you know that Peter Mandelson came last of the 100, and the Queen came 13th. I'll give you the answers on Friday, if I don't lose them in the meantime...just messin'.

Re: 10 most trusted People in Britain.

Thank you for your interest Folks. this is how they are listed:

1, Sir David attenborough.
2, Sir Trever McDonald.
3, Rolf Harris.
4, Bill Oddie.
5, Sir Cliff Richard.
6, Michael Palin.
7, Dame Judi Dench.
8, Gary lineker.
9, Alan Titchmarsh.
10, Esther Rantzen.

The next 10 had no politicians either, as a matter of fact you have to go down to number 54, where you find Tony Benn, Tony Blair is 79, and Gordon Brown is 81, wouldn't you think they'd get the message?, nobody trusts them.

It was David Attenborough and not Richard then Jemflux - I hoped it was David and not his brother.

Re: 10 most trusted People in Britain.

One of the neighbours has recently given birth to a lovely baby boy and she had to take him to the local Hospital to be circumcised, she waited for over 3 hours to see a Doctor and when she finally did he told her the child could not be treated until next year, when she asked why she was told there were too many cutbacks this year
