From literary greats and sporting heroes to industry giants and leading lights in architecture, people can vote for their favourite personality from a shortlist of 25 notable people. If anyone's favourite personality is missing they can suggest their own. Vote Original article Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I've just tried to add Jimmy Sirrel to the list . He's as much right to be there as some of the names on the list (IMHO) but I'm not holding my breath ...LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
