London: Adele, The Beatles and Susan Boyle are among the stars competing to be named Great Britain`s `top cultural offering` in a new poll.
Queen Elizabeth II, One Direction, the Harry Potter books and Dusty Springfield have also been shortlisted in the `Greats of Great Britain` survey, which aims to find the public`s favourite performers, sites, food and attractions, reported Daily Star. Individuals with the highest numbers of votes will have the opportunity to perform live at the `Great Exhibition` event later this year. And the competition is stiff - the British sarcasm, fish and chips, pubs, the BBC, William Shakespeare, the Union Jack and a cup of tea have all been nominated as the best thing about Britain. PTI
