More people recognise the EastEnders theme tune than the British National Anthem

A survey says this, so it must be true. Apparently 37% of respondents chose EastEnders as the most recognisable tune of four (the other two were Match of The Day and Coronation Street), while only 36% selected dear old “God Save The Queen”.
God save our country say I, readers. If football matches start to feature crowds of fans “da da da”-ing along to Simon May’s EastEnders theme as our brave boys line up to await a little-suspected battering by one of Europe’s minnows, I for one will be packing up my English breakfast tea and skedaddling off to Timbuktu.

What’s that? You’d like to know how many people were surveyed, what kind of a cross-section of society they represent and how old they are? Er… nah, sorry, that information isn’t provided. So this could very well have been a survey of cloth-eared, text message-addicted, mouth-breathing soap fans for all we know.
And if it wasn’t, you really have to wonder who makes up that 1%.
