US President tops fantasy pub poll
Barack Obama may be struggling with the American electorate, but he’s still the person Scots would most like to have a pint with.The US president topped a poll of fantasy pub companions, pushing Angelina Jolie into second place. Geordie sweetheart Cheryl Cole also rated highly, more so than X-Factor colleague Danni Minogue.
And in another Gallagher brothers battle, Liam received 2.4% of the vote, showing he was a more popular choice than brother Noel who gained just 1.7%.
The survey also revealed what Scots think the most important qualities are in someone when having a conversation in the pub. Someone who can make them laugh topped the poll – closely following closely by someone who buys a round of drinks.
