Surveys

[TomMcTaf]

I have just completed a “travel to work” survey, as I was not very busy today in the office . . .

Now one thing that really annoys me is all the generic information they ask, like age, sex, religion, ethic minority at the end of the survey.

For example . . . . am I male, female or transgender (M to F), and transgender (F to M)? I of course answered F to M on this last example, and most other "do not wish to comment", or "Jedi" etc.

It really get on my nerves, what difference does it make, whether I am Black or white when travelling around London. This survey was to gauge whether I am pissed off at train crowding, annoyed at delay times etc. Not whether I am a Black British Citizen!

Little rant over; though if someone can explain the reasoning behind this legislation that makes it a requirement to put this bit in, please enlighten me! If you ask me its bollocks and not in context !

They are profiling you. Never fill that shxt out man, thats how they pigeon-hole your ass.

it's for statistical analysis.

they will break down the results to show if there is a demographic that use certain methods of transport more or less than others, and which groups need to be targeted to improve uptake of, in this case, public transport (or whatever...).

lets have another quick one....

You are on the p8ntballer forum, and after choosing not to read the rules you suddenly find your latest thread is closed..do you.

A) Not worry about it and go on with your day, leaving the possibility of another infraction, leading to the possibility of a short ban at some point in the future...

B) Suddenly rush to the stickies ,devour them hungrily and with a sound like a bolt of lighting splitting a mountain in half realise it's not the weekend and this thread would in no way be thought of as 'on topic'..


If you answered A

You need to pay more attention ,smarten up ,polish your shoes and be a more productive forum member..

If you answered B

You are just the type of guy we like round here ,pull up a chair light a cigar and stay a while...
