[QUOTE="egbert, post: 5908046, member: 9965"] I enjoy such surveys, as in the absence of unwary telemarketers and such cold callers, they can give my flair for invention room to canter across the page. It might be an inherited thing, my dad used to take great delight filling in the MAFF livestockstock surveys. He got a phone call one day asking if he REALLY had 400 milking goats? After we planted him, i kept it up. For several years i had to biro in a fresh box in the poultry section. Given we only had one cockerel about, and weren't minded to eat him, he was obviously not kept for breeding of fattening... so my extra box read 'Cockerels for alarm calls. 1' In reality....why would anyone assume the data they get from such surveys bears any resemblance to the truth? sometimes i fill them in honestly, other times quite firmly not. And I usually assume that the questioner is either an animal rights nut job phishing, or big bizz aiming at getting more of my wedge. good luck though. [/QUOTE]
