Beards
The FT today says that although it is not clear whether the American public would accept a female President, it is clear they wouldn't accept one with a beard. Over lunch we decided this was fair enough, and actually couldn't remember who the last American President to have a beard was. Apparently it was Benjamin Harrison, who I'd actually never heard of. We couldn't remember, and I can't find on google, who the last British PM was to have a beard.I also asserted without any evidence (it's not just a blogging thing, I'm afraid) that more Americans have beards than British people. Is this true? Wikipedia has lots of interesting facts about beards, but not the % of people who have them.
