A poll of more than 5000 Brits has found that the Americans are the most attractive people on the planet.

However, the British don't find the Germans very attractive - Germany came just 20th on the list.

The British also took a look at themselves, with the English coming a respectable 7th. But the Celts did badly. The Welsh came just 13th, the Irish 16th and the Scots a lowly 19th.

Canadians came 10th.

Americans are the most attractive looking people in the world, according to a new survey.

The United States, home to George Clooney and Jessica Simpson, came top in a poll of more than 5,000 globe-trotting Britons.

In second place was Brazil while Spain, which boasts Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz as one of its natives, was third.

Blonde, tanned surfers of Australia saw it voted into fourth place, while Italy came fifth.

Sexy Swedes, such as model Victoria Silvstedt, helped it into sixth spot, but England only made it into seventh place in the poll.

India was eighth, France ninth, and Canada finished off the top 10.

England's neighbours didn't fare so well in the poll though as Wales only made it in at number 13, Ireland was at 16, and Scotland was a measly 19th.

A spokeswoman for Market Research, Market Research Companies, Online Market Research: OnePoll, which carried out the study, said: ''America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet.


Scots came just 19th in the poll

''The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America's image as a hot bed of good looking people.

''But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage."

She added: ''England's talent only got them into seventh place and despite Gerard Butler waving the flag for Scotland, they only just beat the Germans.

''But in fairness, when you think of good looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits.

''If you're looking for some fun in the sun, you now know where to head on holiday.''
Other countries to feature in the top 20 include Portugal, Japan and Netherlands.
Germany completed the top 20.

They are obviously talking about movie stars. I wonder just where someone like Shania Twain sat on the list!
As for "common" people, I challange anyone from Britain to choose which person is a Canadian and which is an American - ya know - people they have never seen before in their lives in other words.

Brits consider us Yanks to be "attractive"?

Gee, thanks, Guys. But if you chance to come around Gopherland some time soon, you'll know why the famous pool player called himself "Minnesota Fats". All the extra heavy heavies in these parts will give you a clue as to why ...
