Top Gear. It's basically blokes being kids with toys that can kill people if used irresponsibly, daring the rest of the country to use them irresponsibly.

It's not big and it's not been clever for many years.

The England football team....

More interested in their bank balances/ferraris than national pride

Someone is going to stick their head above the parapet and nominate The Princess Bride.

I'm not that brave.

I'll do the queen.

Hang on. Let me rephrase that:

I nominate the Queen as a sacred cow. Nice enough woman, I'm sure, but in these times of economic difficulty I don't think she's producing and we couldmanage better if she was privatised.

maybe we should make some new ones, that in their turn can be ousted again.

Paul Daniels as a reverse case?

There are other distances. What's the big deal

About This Thread

Maintained by 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.
