TCW has been conducting an entertaining competition - The Most Useless National Treasure.
TCW competition result: The Most Useless National Treasure is . . .
WE ASKED you to nominate the Most Useless National Treasure, and we gave you possibilities in the form of Angela Rippon and Sir Grayson Perry.
In response you sent in a range of suggestions from the ranks of the rich and pointless, all of them rating high for lack of merit and/or off-switch levels of ability to irritate.
In a hard field from which to pick a winner, we turned to the Chocolate Teapot Scale, which measures not just prominence and talent to annoy, but takes into account general failure to give an answer to the question: Daddy, what is that man for?
This works against candidates with real talents or achievements.
It's not easy to disagree with any of the suggestions, but read the whole piece as a reminder of how many Useless National Treasures we have. There is a worthy winner though.
