Public opinion edit
Why under "Public opinion" is there the statement:
- "However, the character of Hector was not popular with Inland Revenue's staff, ..."
So it made them uptight - they don't count. Instead, why not copy the bit from Pauline McLynn that says

That's public opinion... (see the ref'd article - it was voted most annoying ad) 24.28.17.231 (talk) 03:59, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- This article is about Hector, not Mrs Doyle. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 07:49, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
