Thanks to all those who took the time to respond to our latest poll.
But to add to your level of difficulty, your List can only have five (5) items, rather than the usual ten (10).
THE POLL QUESTION: What five trends, clichés, people in the news would you like to see disappear from the culture radar IMMEDIATELY?
DEADLINE: 30 April, 2005. The responses and results will appear in our "Summer Reading" edition at the end of May. Thanks in advance!
