They probably interviewed the same demographic as that moron from Big Brother who didn't know who Shakespeare was. When informed that he wrote Romeo & Juliet he thought 'The Bard' was a 16th Century film director!
Classic stuff.
23% of Britons Say Churchill was a Myth

It's not, 60 million people to the 3000 samples, it's tiny.
That's just shameful.What are they teaching in schools these days?!
But did those surveyed go to school? Or were they bunking off at the time!
Ah right, so they didn't actually poll all Britons just 3000 of them, in a confined area too I'd imagine, probably a busy shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon or somefing.
I wonder how they managed to only poll Britons too in our multicultural society, unless the first question was 'Are you British, if so can you answer these questions please' unlikely really
Maybe they polled Poles?

Probably done the poll in a Welsh village....
Actually it might be these people -
More than 25% of Scottish residents are unable to identify HIV's main transmission routes -- sexual intercourse, blood transfusions, injection drug use and mother-to-child transmission -- according to the recently released National AIDS Trust Public Attitudes to HIV survey, BBC News reports (BBC News, 1/17). About 6% of residents across the United Kingdom were able to identify correctly HIV's main transmission routes, the Metro reports (Metro, 1/16).
The survey also found that more than 35% of people living in Scotland did not know that HIV can be transmitted among men who have sex with men who do not use condoms, compared with 26% of residents throughout the United Kingdom. Almost one-third of Scottish residents also did not know that HIV can be transmitted through heterosexual sex when a condom is not used, compared with 21% of U.K. residents (BBC News, 1/17). Nine percent of U.K. residents in 2000 knew that HIV could be transmitted if a condom is not used during sex, according to the survey. In addition, 31% of people throughout the U.K., including in Scotland, did not know HIV can be transmitted through injection drug use, compared with 12% in 2000. More than two-thirds of people said that their relationships would not be affected if a friend or relative was diagnosed as HIV-positive, the survey found.
Now that is scary.
Unfortunately I am seeing this more and more, it seems the latests generation of people think more about technology and whats in the future, rather than anything in the past.
Its good that we're progressing technoligically but it seems we're losing cultural identity and history in the process. We are devolving into cavemen, but instead of clubs, we'll have all sorts of futuristic weapons to kill ourselves.
If we want to survive as a society we have to remember the past to learn from its own mistakes but also balance that with not living in the past.
Although some people are just plain thick

think about it, the poll results are mainly from the people who were too thick to avoid the lady coming at them with a clipboard.
says it all really, hardly representative of the british population
Genius

Yep thats pretty much it, does anyone with atleast half a brain answer survey's?
i'm really not interested in history, and dropped it in school
but EVERYONE knows who churchill is..
and einstein invented the chronosphere
And Newton invented mavity!
Imagine where we'd be without him!

That cant be true, I'm sure that the TV documentaries have taught me that the Americans invented everything, surely that includes mavity.
