Gordon Brown is UK's most boring speaker

Gordon Brown has been named the UK's most boring public speaker and has the voice people least enjoy hearing.

It seems whatever the Prime Minister says it going to go down badly as 20 percent of the 1,000 adults quizzed in a recent survey just can't stand hearing him.

Brown was closely followed in the poll by squeaky-voiced footballer David Beckham and Oscar winning actress Kate Winslet.

The survey by speech-to-text company SpinVox, also found silver-tongued actor Stephen Fry is the most popular public speaker ahead of US President Barack Obama.

Brown is now thought to want all of his future speeches to be dubbed over 1980s Gerry Adams style ... but with Stephen Fry's tones.
