I'm speechless, mainly because I'm still penniless despite my big win!
It's such an honour to take over the WWTBAM mantle from Ceejay who has been a deserving champion.
In real life there is no doubt I wouldnt have risked it like I did here. I'll pop up the reasoning so you can see how i came to take a massive risk!

Hi Kol,
I was pretty sure it wasnt John Major, in fact I am 100% certain it's not John Major so I am really surprised that 43% have gone for him. The fact that there is also 43% for David Lloyd George is interesting.
What I'm afraid of though is that those percentages mean bugger all. They might be more misleading than helpful unfortunately. If 7 people got back to you and 3 each went for Major and Lloyd George, nobody for Wilson and the remaining one for Jim Callaghan then the percentages work out as per your table.
That means my dilemma is - am I willing to risk a million squidlets* on 3 people thinking one way versus 1 person thinking another???? It's not exactly overwhelming the opposition if you pardon the political pun!
I have to look at it that way as I'm totally excluding Major as a non starter.
With a sample size so small it's risky to allow the audience figures to sway me one way or the other. But what if the one person who opted for Callaghan is right? What if they are the person I should have used as a 'phone a friend'? Tongue
The fact that 6 (by my reckoning) were split evenly between one possible and one non starter proves to me what a difficult question this is. I think, like me, people just dont know 100% what the answer is. Except maybe, just maybe, that one person who went for Callaghan.
I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb and on that alone I'm going to go with a final answer -
C. James Callaghan.
Although I'd be banking in real life - I think - but then again.........you never know!
Regards,
WL
