U.K. youth by-pass Royals
NZPA-AAP London Britain’s teenagers want a salary of £30,000 ($79,800) before they are 30, do not-think much of the Royal Family, and vote “Neighbours” their favourite television show, a survey has found. The survey of 13,000 children, aged between 11 and 15, also found racial discrimination, cruelty to animals, nuclear war and pollution were in the top
10 issues which they cared most about. The American actor, Eddie Murphy, topped the list of boys’ heroes, followed by the millionaire entrepreneur, Richard Branson, head of the Virgin record empire, and the comedian, Jasper Carrott. The chief heroine for girls was the British television presenter, Anneka Rice, followed by the pop
star, Madonna, and the comedienne, Victoria Wood. No member of the Royal Family members reached the Top 10 for either sex. Forty-nine per cent of those interviewed in the survey, conducted by Barclays Bank, said "Neighbours” was their favourite television show. The British soap opera “Eastenders” was next best.
