The Sun has conducted an extremely accurate and in depth survey, as they always do, to discover what type of person is the most popular. 1000 people were surveyed, and IT nerds came out on top.


"COMPUTER geeks have been voted Britain's most popular people.

Eight in ten of us love IT workers because they fix our machines.

Nurses scored 75 per cent in the poll of 1,000 phone users.

Traffic wardens are most hated, but estate agents' popularity is up slightly.

Most loved: IT workers, nurses, mechanics, doctors, shop staff.

Most hated: Traffic wardens, lawyers, car salesmen, bus drivers, estate agents."


I don't understand their maths though. 8 in 10 love IT nerds, yet 7.5 in 10 prefer a good nurse? There's a word that springs to mind when people say the Sun's reading age is 7: Understatement. A baboon could cococt better statistics than that. They probably didn't even ring those 1000 people, why would they? No one's going to check. I bet one of the IT Nerds at the Sun updated the website with that article just so people would think he's the man. Real big man, spending all day with his PC, tucked away in a closet somewhere, updating his internet blog and finding random news articles to criticise. Real big man.
