Margaret Thatcher
|

This woman was demonic. She is probably Britain's most famous export after pork pies and similarly, her policies were full of the same rotton rubbish - pig knee caps, brains, eyes and intestines. Not married to Mr T (BA Baracus).

This man was a GENIUS. Actually, he was an enigma. Jimmy Saville was probably the biggest name in breakfast radio until this man, nicknamed 'The Hairy Cornflake', came along and blew the broadcasting world to pieces. He totally revolutionised the industry with his beard, introducing classic radio like his 'Love Slot'. He was held in awe by the British public but in 1989, was controversially betrayed by the BBC. Due to what they called, 'Changing Trends', they axed him to bring in a little known maverick called Timmy Mallet who apparently, 'Had his finger on the pulse of youth' whilst DLT barely had a pulse of his own entering his twilight years still playing songs by Bronski Beat and The Bangles. DLT now works for Sunshine Radio, wherever that is.

Red Rum

This horse was a GENIUS. But not in the same way as Mr Ed. Red Rum won the Grand National in 1973, 1974, 1977 and was runner up in 1975 and 1976 becoming the horsing world's Kevin Keegan. He fought some classic finishes with L'Escargot, Eyecatcher, The Dikler, Ceol-Na-Mara, Rag Trade and Churchtown Boy. After his retirement in 1978, he became the world's second celebrity horse (behind Mr Ed) doing countless charity appearances, opening betting shops, supermarkets, and even doing Pantomime. Sadly, after opening Britains last branch of Kwik Save in Rotherham, Red Rum was humanely put to sleep with a sawn off shot gun. Gloria Hunniford (poor man's Judith Chalmers) probably said it best: "I think its wonderful how the British still care for horses and Red Rum was marvellous for Britain".
