They have to be unique, no other roomie could have said them before and you must leave your alias to get the sticker or the points!!
The winner of Tuesday’s poll itself will get 5,000LPs!!!
Finally, please note that the Greatest Briton nominee has to be actually from Great Britain (& Northern Ireland), so please make sure that you know where they come from!

My favourite Britain was Tommy Cooper, I just had to look at him and I was in stitches, good old Tommy, pity there was noone like him to day.
Spectator x
William Shakespeare – where would we be without good ol William, brilliant & ageless.
There will never be another Iron Lady!
My own personal choice for the Greatest Briton would be Queen Elizabeth – the Queen Mother, her lovelly warm smile and the dignity which she carried herself with is still an inspiration to many to this day.

i loved princess diana so i vote for her
My favourtit Briton was Catherine Cookson, she keeps many women quiet whilst reading her books
wiccan33 – Bruce Forsyth – he is still one of the best entertainers and loved by all ages – he should be made remembered in the New Year’s Honours List.
got to be fern lol
Diana
I truly admire Cheryl Cole for making a big name for herself in the music industry, despite coming from a manufactured group!
as to be churchill after all did a good job in ww2 xxx
spamula
It has to be Churchill – Great Britain would no longer exist if it wasn’t for him.

Can I just say that I hate Catherine Cookson – she has done a disservice to the region she came from and has perpetuated so many stereotypes.
Sue xx
p.s. I am from the region she wrote about so I know whereof I speak.
my choice would be billy connolly a very funny man has kept us amused for a lot of years now and his stories are so true to life albeit it a little nawty lol xx
id say fern britton fantastic lady , down to earth not affraid to speak her mind fantastic person . if i could pick my own iconic choice from heart it would be susan my mother in law , she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 years bk ,also had heart and lung problems , she was in pain but that women woke up evrday with the biggest smile on her face and would giggle at everything , she was one of the ppl i have ever had the pleasure of knowin , god bless sue ,xxxx
Diana
got to be princess diana,
brannyjo
henry 8th ok so he was a scallywag n perhaps over-indulged in wine women n song but among lots of other things he gave us our great Navy.
I would nominate Prince William he is to be a future king and he had a great mum.
got to be princess diana she was such a gracious lady
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English Poet and Plawright.
) xx
I would say good old Will where would all us Ladies be today if he had never written Romeo and Juiliette? The love scene on the veranda and let face it girls in more recent times a great remake featuring the gorge Leo Decaprio with out his clothes yum yum
The Greatest Briton I admire was a teacher I had at Infants School (some 25+ years ago!) called Mrs Buckley. She was amazing and totally inspired me to work hard to be whatever I wanted to be. I still have all the (really old, well loved) Famous Five books she gave me complete with personal inspirational messages in them to encourage me to keep reading and working hard. She was fab and I’ll never forget her!!
it has to be inventor of online bingo lol or what else would we do. But afraid i dont know their name and google no use. Ahhh Mr google must be another one lmao.
Winston Churchill is generally regarded as one of the most important leaders in modern British and world history. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He won the 1953 Nobel Prize in Literature.
it has 2 be princess diana after al the good stuff she did not just ere but all over the world x
David Beckham has got to be one of the best Britons ever. His services & commitment to football need no explanations and he does alot of various charitable work with children etc. Besides that, he has got to be the best looking man on our planet!!!!
My greatest briton has to be Jane Tomlinson who through the pain and heartache of suffering from terminal cancer raised thousands of pounds for charity virtually until the very end of her days on earth and her legacy now lives on through her wonderful family who raise money for charity in her name. I hereby salute the courage and bravery of such an outstanding young lady. RIP Jane xx
As so many have said Diana and its says be unqiue Sterling Moss for his contribution to the world of motor racing.
For me the greatest briton is JK Rowling, no only has she done loads of charity work, she is an example of just how much a single mother can acheive. This time 15 years ago she was not that different to me! She has also inspired a whloe generation of children too read, before Harry Potter my son never picked up a book, but now he always has his nose in one.
LEONA LEWIS xx
my vote is for john lennon, after all he did for music and peace hes gotta be a contender
Mines would be charles renee macintosh – a fantastic designer who was years ahead of his time and hasnt been matched tho has influenced countless people in his field of expertise.
Canavron
Frankie Boyle – for making me cry with laughter at every episode of Mock The Week and leaving me wonder how he gets away with it. The best thing to come out of Scotland!
Andrew Lloyd Webber. I love the music from Phantom…
sir walter raleigh
where would we b without our humble potato!
Ohhh has to be Richard Starkey (aka Ringo Starr) fantastic drummer from the Beatles and the infamous voice in Thomas the Tank Engine…you can’t use someone else it’s just not the same!!!
Toni (letmewinxxx)
my vote has got to be for sir alexander fleming.who from a bit of mould discovered penicillin a drug we take for granted but has saved so many lives.dont know why but this has always fascinated me.it also saved a lot of lives in world war two
