It's still an interesting question and perhaps one that will never be answered to everyone's approval.
I've often wondered when i see the phrase 'fastest in the world', 'best in the world', or likewise, there should be a phrase in brackets after it which says "out of all those people that have entered this particular competition, recognising that there may be persons unknown who do not have the time, inclination or opportunity to enter, who may well have similar or greater talents"

A bit like when i sat at the dinner table and asked my children "who is the best florist in the country?" to which they replied "you are dad!". So now i can say that "in a recent survey....."

I do believe that there a a great many 'florists' who fall into the category of 'designer florist' purely because they are capable of producing something unique and what is important "saleable" but due to the need to earn a living and provide whatever it is that joe public requires on the day, simply do not have the opportunity to get involved in the competition circuit to achieve national recognition within the industry.
