Nice one! I didn't vote for some as I don't have a view eg - I've never heard of the Blue Peter presenters.

Is that okay or for statistical reasons do I have to vote?
World Cup for the best (or worst?) way to waste your life.
Love the pop up response to the Brexit one!

Also surprised butterscotch does not show a clearer winning margin over banana, that to me was a no brainer.
World Cup of Blogs
DG -v- PointlessBlog

DG will walk it to the Final.
I predict Milhouse vs. Mrs. Krabappel is going to the wire.
*sigh*
But where's the World Cup of Tea then? Which reminds me... :)
What, no World Cup of DG comments?
Have we decided a trophy? I propose a rhenium North Country Cheviot, spray-painted in Jasmine Shimmer, wrapped in MacFarlane tartan, and liberally sprinkled with JalapeƱos.
A trophy? It has to be one of those DG mugs, hand-made on a potter's wheel. In other words, a whirled cup.
I do hope these votes are being independently audited and are credible. It's be terrible if, say, their results were preordained in advance and were the figures to remain the same throughout the day and beyond...
Ludicrous anyone could possibly vote for the M275.
Dominic h - Thanks for your post.

I have been utterly taken in....
@RayL Very good!!

Was Kittens vs Puppies deemed too contentious?
Disappointed there's no "World Cup of all the bus stop M's across London"
There are only 430 Bus Stop Ms, so this shouldn't take long...

WORLD CUP OF BUS STOP Ms
The Copper Box  Pricklers Hill

Valerie Singleton vs Lesley Judd, surely.
Valerie Singleton vs Susan Stranks, surely?
@RayL 9:11am
That'd be hand-made on a potter's wheel in Potters Bar, I assume
I've just realised... not only am I not of these 'worlds'....I have very little to do with cups. And...I was raised in a household where mugs were referred to as beakers!
@ Disgusted of Chepstow

As lovely as the M48 is, getting you out of Portsmouth fast is going to score highly on people's concerns!
@FrankF
Susan Stranks was on Magpie! Tut, tut, disappointed with you!
This would be the DG rigged voting system then? Pre-determined results.
Dan,

Yes the figures are remarkably consistent throughout the day.

I smelt a rat the moment I saw that foolscap was way ahead of A4. I mean, seriously, who would vote for foolscap when the alternative is A4? A4 is a sensible size that is part of a family of logically related sizes. The 'A' family also has complementary envelope sizes. What is there not to like?
It seems to me that the unreasonable popularity of foolscap is why we have Brexit.

Why have a size that is part of a family of logically related sizes when you can have an irregular size that nobody else uses?
Honestly, you don't really think there is a public vote, do you? Can't risk ending up with Brexit McBrexitface.
@Pedantic of Purley: I start to think most of us commenting here are being too serious about the matter. Maybe this is a deliberate joke LOL
Angel Delight; what happened to Chocolate? Surely it couldn't have been eliminated in earlier rounds? I demand a recount.
On logical paper sizes, I just overheard a conversation this very day, where someone said "I think A4 is too big for [purpose redacted]. Let's go for A3".
@Andrew - Bah! What's the point of freeing ourselves from the uniformity of the A paper sizes if we're just going to go back to another dull, boring rectangle?

The best thing about Brexit is that it allows us the opportunity to ban the rectangles and introduce new triangular or hexagonal paper instead! (Sadly the Conservatives are just too unimaginative to see the potential, and the opportunity to do something really creative is being wasted.)
Indeed: freed from the shackles of the EU, we can make new free trade agreements to sell our innovative hexagonal paper sizes to new markets like Kitibati, Laos and Djibouti.
Everything's coming up

Millhouse
Second cameo on DG in a year... yes!

Prior to the Zone 1 Stations bracket, I did run the first round of a satirical World Cup of London bus Routes. It went something like this:

Which route is better?
1
2

Oddly, nobody quite got the satire. Perhaps you need to be DG to pull it off.
I want to vote for the Herdwick. Surely everyone agrees they are the best?
