Are you a knock-off Nigel or Nigella?

21 September 2008

Poll Started 22 Sept 2008. Are you a knock-off Nigel or Nigella? While walking down your local high street, you’re approached by someone with a plastic bag full of almost certainly fake DVDs of films you want to see. Buying one's generally considered a criminal offence, yet the trade persists. Which is nearest to your reaction?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
