GregP Aug 2011 7:47pm, 24 Aug 2011 51,336 posts	0 GregP Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal? Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated. Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe. We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is not called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated. It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge. My vote goes (predictably) to Mark Cavendish.

Maclennane Aug 2011 8:36pm, 24 Aug 2011 17,744 posts	0 Maclennane Carol Vorderperson was only ever good at looking girlish as Richard Whiteley made his clumsy witticisms. That career path is no longer open, so now she explains that it's worth trying to teach 17 year olds what you've failed to teach them for the previous 12 years.
