James - you keep saying that certain questions are optional but their very inclusion in the survey has sown a lot of cynicism. It may go some way to restore the Forum?s trust if they were simply deleted off the survey i.e. Phone and email Year of Birth Voting preference Though this may be closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

?Hi nxjen, Yes, I have asked for general voting preferences. We do that on pretty much every communication and the question is optional to respond to. Saves me knocking on your door in the next few weeks repeatedly until I find you in.? The implication is that yes this survey, the results of which are very likely to be statistically insignificant, is for canvassing/electioneering purposes.

For those who haven?t seen it, James posted a link to his survey on the other CPZ thread which prompted further discussion regarding motivation and design of survey http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1916456,page=5

Really?! You only wanted contact details so you could advise the results of the survey when a simple post on the Forum would do this? Or would the results just be a part of a general LibDem electioneering communication? Why have you asked for voting preferences? Put your hand on your heart James and swear there was never any intention to contact respondents about other matters or to use data gained for electioneering purposes. I?m looking forward to your politician?s response.

This post isn?t for James as he already knows, but as well as asking for name and address in the survey it also asks for voting preference. Just trying to gather data, slipped in on a thread where passions are running high

There must be something about the self service tills at ASDA cos when I?ve used them I?ve always managed to embarrass myself and do something wrong.

As Penguin has so eloquently written, a survey conducted on the EDF is not representative of the views of the majority of the residents of East Dulwich so the results, be they for or against, will be pretty meaningless and not form the basis of any action taken by Southwark Council. I suspect the LibDems know this. Which raises the question why they have launched the survey if not to gain data just in time for the upcoming local elections.

Question 6 that requests personal details has an asterisk besides it which I assume means compulsory

By completing the survey they will gain more information about you other than name and address and begin to create a mini profile. To check whether respondents live locally they do not need an email address or phone number which are requested in the survey

James has neglected to say that those who complete the survey may (will) be contacted by the LibDems in future. Just trying to collect your details people.

I really don?t follow what you?re trying to say. The protest is to draw attention that a system whereby trans are able to self identify can be open to abuse by those who simply say they identify as women to gain access to areas of a very personal and private nature for voyeuristic purposes.

I?ve been with BT broadband for about 12 years and I wouldn?t call them rubbish. The couple of times I had issues it was with the phone, not broadband. I think there was one general outage that affected the whole area for a few hours about 5 years ago but other than that it?s been fine.

RRR. It?s not just a question of trans issues. What the protests are trying to bring home is that it?s also a question about women?s issues and rights. There needs to be a way of balancing the two,

Despite denials, there WAS a clique who may disagree amongst themselves but if someone ventured in who was not "one of them" they would close ranks. Though the rows continue, and probably will do, the forum is less aggressive and less intellectually snobby since they've moved on. I haven't seen a post commenting on punctuation for some time. Also as Edcam pointed out, we are living in dark times. It was easier to have more fun before the effects of the banking crisis took full effect before the awful regressive Tory party became the government when leaving the EU was viewed as a bit of a joke etc etc etc

For those who don't see this as an issue, I wonder how they feel about easy access to the areas where their children and teenage daughters change.

BT saying it's probably a problem inside the house or with customer's equipment seems to be their default response, they've said this to me on the couple of times I've experienced problem on the line. I've persisted and it turned out the problem was with their wiring or equipment but they justified saying it was inside the house so that I'd be prepared to have to pay if it proved to be the case. I'm on Infinity as well and noticed pauses while watching iplayer over the weekend, I put it down to the snow. Seemed OK yesterday.

OK so you appear to have been unaware that ?limp wristed is/was a euphemism as described by P68 during less enlightened times. I suppose it?s heartening to learn such expressions have fallen by the wayside.

It certainly isn?t very gentlemanly to make such aggressive posts as yours.

He seems like an experienced troll. His style is familiar

There was me thinking I'd got my OCD under control by not commenting

I?m afraid Ihave no information but I just wanted to say how sorry I am this happened to you. I experienced similar events when I was younger and I know just how awful it makes the victim feel.

Yesterday my experience was a car chancing it in my path as I was crossing, on the green man, at the crossing from North Cross to M&S. The car was stationery outside M&S facing towards the Plough, I was half way across when the car started and drove at speed through the red light in my path to reach the Budgens side of the road and continue south. I was not the only pedestrian crossing the driver showed no regard whatsoever.

Before it was the Job Centre, it was an Advice Centre of some sort, I never quite understood what it did.
