It's the M40 that does it for me
In a poll in the Daily Telegraph the British public were asked if certain phrases or words were "very important" to them in defining Britain or what it means to be British.
12%, 6,000,000 people (this is a new and popular form of reporting polls), believe that the "motorway network" is "very important to them in defining Britain or what it means to be British". It's not ever a good motorway network!
The other answers are admittedly less odd, except perhaps 24%, 12,000,000 people, who believe that "driving on the left" does it for them, and is probably a consequence of silly question design in allowing unlimited choices, rather than say three as is done with 'which issues are important to you".
