Dull

I had to laugh when I saw on Sky News that our PM Gordon Brown has been named as England's dullest public speaker.

Apparently a survey of 1,000 adults by voice-to-text company Spinvox, revealed that Mr Brown was top of the list ahead of worthy rivals such as David Beckham and Kate Winslet.

His dulcet tones are hardly inspiring to anyone worried about the future of the country in the downturn. In fact just seeing his face is enough for me to reach for the remote control.

I'm glad to see that companies like Spinvox are conducting valued research on topics that really matter. Keep it up.
