Footballer David Beckham is the most suitable role model for children, according to a survey of British adults released this week. By contrast, the least suitable idols were Homer Simpson, the beer-swilling dad from the hit US cartoon The Simpsons, followed by foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Beckham, the former England captain who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States, was rated a "very good" role model by 19 per cent of those surveyed and "good" by 36 per cent. In second place on the list was David Cameron, the leader of Britain's main opposition Conservative Party. Do you agree with these role models or can you think of better ones?
