Eight out of 10 young people think of a blackberry as a mobile phone rather than a fruit, according to a poll.



When asked what a "blackberry" was, 82% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would be most likely to think instantly of a smartphone, the survey for the Environment Department suggested.

Farming Miinister David Heath said there was a "huge level of disengagement from the countryside" as the survey also revealed that more than half of adults (55%) have not been to a farm in the past 10 years.

And just one in 10 (11%) of the 2,114 adults polled saw farming as the career they would most like to work in, compared with 51% who favoured being a doctor, lawyer or teacher.

Not that surprising really, you're a lot more likely to hear/read/talk about the Blackberry phone than the fruit in your everyday life

It's not like they're asking them with context, they're just asking what a Blackberry is, it's a stupid poll, probably done for a ****rag like The Sun, so that they can go on about how stupid young people are.

Blackberries arnt a very well favoured fruit though. So not surprised in the slightest.

If somebody asked me what 'Apple' was I would say a fruit before the company.
