Dept for culture media and sport
 
'Dept for culture media and sport' - never heard of them!
...but they have written to me saying that they will be calling to interview me soon for a national survey on how people spend leisure time.

I have been selected 'at random', and my address 'cannot be replaced by another'.

I don't particularly look forward to being questioned by a stranger - I could refuse I suppose - but they have bribed me for my cooperation by giving me a book of six 1st class stamps and the promise of a £5 High St voucher.

I think that this survey is a waste of our/your money.
Since the country strapped for cash, this is a farce.

It should only take a few minutes for my interview - when they realise they have selected a hermit in their sample, there won't be much to write down will there?:D

Well thinking about it Margaret, it could have been worse, it could have been me they selected:D

A woman arrived a few days ago unannounced.
She woke me from a nap, and I said I would prefer an interview at a prearranged time, and gave her my phone number.

She phoned today and
...I have declined to participate.

Why should I volunteer for an enquiry into my private life? (said she indignantly)

We are already subjected to enough snooping without volunteering info.

The '£5 High St voucher' would have been a nuisance - I would feel obliged to visit Accy centre to spend it.:eek:

They'd get a lot of knowledge from me if they rang, giving my extensive social and leisure time:rolleyes::D
