British college student Omar Singh became so tired of Americans asking him "Hey you're from Britain, do you know Dave?" on a recent trip Stateside that he embarked on a very unusual quest. He set out to prove definitively whether there really was a Dave that everyone in the British Isles knew.

The results of the study were surprising, proving beyond reasonable doubt that there really is a single Dave that everyone knows.

Dave Yately from Altringham in the West Midlands is the unlikely holder of the famous title. The shell shocked Dave was confronted on a reality TV show entitled 'The Quest for Dave' to be shown on ITV1 next week.

When asked why he thought he was so well known Dave scratched his head and mumbled "I dunno, I play darts at the local pub twice a week, maybe that's it. I suppose I did put it about a bit when I was in college."

Mr Singh also set out to test another popular question from across the pond "Hey you're from England, do you know the Queen?" This assumption proved to be false although 80% of the country claim to have had a drink with Princess Michael of Kent.

She may be a Princess, but she has a man's name
