With respect warton, people are stupid for believing everything which they read in newspapers – including the Daily Telegraph.
That poll was conducted by “OnePoll”, pollsters which I’ve never heard of before. According their website :
“OnePoll conducts online surveys. Once you’re registered – for free – your account opens and you start earning. The more surveys you participate in, the more you can earn. Typically we will have 20 to 30 active polls at any one time.
There are also other opportunities for randomly-selected respondents to win cash and other prizes. Click here to see to some of our OnePoll winners.“
Obviously they are full of gimmicks and should not be considered as a serious polling company. Presumably they provide tit-bits of trivia to newspapers desperate to fill their pages with something, anything.
Shame on the Telegraph for publishing such pointless, meaningless trivia, and shame on you for getting worked up about it 😯
