I hate it when they wont take no for an answer, that really winds me up.
I am a courteous person, and realise that this man had a job to do....and that it really isn't any good shooting the messenger......but, on being told that I had informed Nat cen that I was not prepared to participate in the survey, he should have said 'Thankyou very much, sorry for troubling you' and gone on his merry way, but he didn't........he tried to get me to do the survey by using dubious methods......guilt overlay, harassment.......and this is why I may be contacting Natcen, either by phone or by letter.

Eric, I am not mellowing, and I am sure this interviewer would tell you.
In the end I was bodering on rude. Which is not how I do things at all.
