LONDON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A poll of British travelers indicated the best-looking people in the world live in the United States.

OnePoll.com, a British Web site, conducted an online survey of about 5,000 Britons that concluded Americans are the best-looking. Brazil came in second and Spain was third. Australian and Italians completed the Top 5.

No other poll data, such as when the data were collected or margin of error, was announced.

A spokesman for OnePoll said: ''America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet.

''The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America's image as a hot bed of good looking people."

The Brits voted themselves sixth, installed the French at No. 9. Scotland was 19th and Germany 20th among the Top 20 counties listed.

In case there is a concern of pro-American bias, OnePoll issued data last September that rated Americans the fifth-worst lovers in the world.
