Well Here’s Good News For The UK
Guess what the Second Most Popular Teddy Bear Boy’s Name was in Britain this year?
For the last 13 years it has reigned supreme as the most popular boy’s name in the land.
But in multicultural Britain, children named after the Muslim prophet Mohammed could soon be outnumbering the long-time favourite Jack.
In a reflection of the increasing influence of Islam on UK society, figures released by the Office of National Statistics yesterday showed that the most popular spelling of the name – Mohammed – had climbed five places to 17th in the annual list of most popular baby names.
But when the seven other spellings of the name are taken into account, the total amounted to 6,347 babies, making it the second-most popular name of the year – up from 5,936 last year.
Not a very rosy outlook for Merry Olde Englande, I’m afraid. Here’s a peek at Britain’s “Pub of the Future”…

Thats a very durka future for England.
I hope Great Britain proves me wrong but I think their famed “stiff upper lip” is now but a quaint memory.
All too soon, the British can mean it when they say, “I don’t know Jack!”
