<b>Reader Survey</b>

"How many children to you personally have"

None, but I've got several ones impersonally.

And I love the idea that households still have someone who is clearly their "head".

Never guess this was French...

But the best ... "Do you regularly purchase Toilet Duck?"

I don't fit any of these!

Ted, how could I reply to that question, if I would be non-English speaking?

And: Why did they ask me, if China belongs to the EU? Do they want to exclude aliens from this survey?

I realised afterwards that I could have just skipped the question, instead I lied and chose the only one I've ever been, "British living abroad". I hope that won't mess up your research Ted.:roleyes:

It's not surprising the questions are confusing, they were written by a frenchman...

...will their subverison(sp) never cease...?

It's to filter out the stupid people onto another survey about Big Brother and Eastenders, so they don't knacker up the results.

All done Ted no probs

IIRC they have to ask you a question for the prizes if the dont ask you a question it becomes a lottery which is illegal as the national lottery is the only one allowed in this country.If you watch any daytime prog they have this sort of question for the same reason

Thought it was common knowledge

Maybe this one was put in for Mungo. Next question being "How many children do your girlfriends have?"

(Sorry, it is such a long time since I have given Matt any grief.)

I thought it was a cynic blocker, as I mis-read the question as 'who does the EU belong too' , I nearly answered France

Disappointed you feel that way BB. However if you look at your passport you'll find it says "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". England doesn't get a mention.

Well when he created the the "United Kingdom" by bathing the land in the Welsh and Scotts' blood (probably not to be recomended nowadays, might ok if French ), Edward I saw it to be fit for rule by an "English" king, himself obviously, so that's good enough for me....

"A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd" Edward I

...it's just a great quote, I had to share.

Context: Something to do with English govenrment 'U' turn in foreign policy (Re:Scotland in this case), seems that's traditional too!
