If there's one thing the British have in abundance, it's history. Not to mention TV dramas based on their history.
It's therefore something of a shock to discover that 23 per cent of respondents to a recent survey thought Winston Churchill was a fictional character while 58 per cent thought Sherlock Holmes had been a real person. |

Wow. No wonder we kicked their ass.
Then again 70-80% of Americans probably think Dolly Madison was our 4th President. |

That's nothing compared to the 77% of OTP members that still believe that Jyrki21 really was Leafs2003.
