Hi everyone,

I'm currently in my last year of university and researching gardening

Thank you
Holly-

Yet another UK-centred, hastily compiled and ambiguous survey. The
chances of the results meaning anything are not good.

David-

Most likely, ulterior motives. Got caught up in these crappy
surveys in

the past and avoid them like telemarketers.


Hi Frank,

This survey is for my dissertation. It would be really useful if you
could fill it out. I understand if you don't have time, but I just
wanted you to know that it isn't 'ulterior motives', and I suppose
everyone is entitled to their opinion about whether it is a 'crappy
survey'.

David- The results would be useful for me and my project. I understand
if you don't want to fill it out though.



I did fill it out. Almost every question could be improved, ask your
supervisor if you don't think I am any judge.

For example 'Where do you buy...?'

Do you mean what kind of retail outlet, which particular retail outlet or
the geograhical location?

You could get:

- on the web
- at Smith's Produce
- in London

How does that help?

On one question you ask for a rating as a number, but the options have no
numbers!

David


Why don't you just tell him that many twits have come before him with
their mindless questions, and have been told to shove off.

I recommend that you, HollyJermyn, do the same.

**** off.

E Pluribus Unum

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the
merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.
