Reuters Group Limited, is a Canadian owned (Thomson Family of Toronto) news agency that is based in Britain and rated as the largest news service in the World.
While the British are one of the most honest nationalities, Reuters reports that at the same time they harbour the ugliest people on the planet.
This is according to a dating website that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join.
(I have to admit that I put in the part about them being the most honest, since I can tell you for sure that if I were voted the "ugliest person around" ......I wouldn't be reporting it!)
Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted, an emailed statement from the website showed.
Swedish men have proven to be the most successful, with 65 percent being accepted.
Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with 76 percent accepted.
The way that BeautifulPeople.com accepts new members is simple.
A potential member applies with a photo and a brief profile.
Over 48 hours, existing members of the opposite sex vote whether or not to admit them. Options are: 1. "Yes definitely," 2. "Hmm yes, O.K," 3. "Hmm no, not really" and 4. "No, definitely not."
The site was founded in 2002 in Denmark and went live across the globe last month. Since then, the site has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 190 countries, admitting just 360,000 new members.
"I would say Britain is stumbling because they don't spend as much time polishing up their appearance and they are letting themselves down on physical fitness," Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge said. "Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, or even Australians and North Americans, British people just don't make it"
(On a side note here, I can see what they are talking about since I went to Scotland about five years ago and noticed that everyone on the plane was.......... well, plain! This means that if I had to make a mental note of it, they must have been really....., really....., plain!)
Now all this talk has only served to make me curious, and I am compelled to go to the site and see how fast they give me the boot!
Will let you know!
