I got a letter from Hyndburn Homes this morning, it was in reference to the repair work that has recently been done on the roofs of our block of flats. I was in the form of a tick box questionnaire. the first section was name and address, the second one was "gender" it said "Male" "Female" "Other":confused: other!!!!!!!, it appears this problem with aliens on the canal is worse than we originally thought:D

Everyone should be encouraged to check "Other" ... that would really put Hyndburn on the map:D And if they also ask for "religion"; it might be a good time to put "Jedi Knight, Sunni branch."

By the way, a tour through any of the more tasteful porn sites, will show you at least one alternative: "She-male";)

On your case I can't see any thing to be puzzled about.

I find they ask far too many questions that aren't needed on their forms, my street was part of a block re-furb, the area is much improved thank's to this.
They sent a Questionnaire, asking what I thought about it, I would gladly have filled it in had the final page not asked for sexual oriantation, ethnic background and religion, what on earth have those questions got to do with whether I'm happy with the new railings they have put in front of my house?

I didn't fill that part in Less got sod all to do with them, maybe the Others will oblige;)
 
My mum got a form like that to fill in when she had a repair to her back door on Warwick Ave in Accrington. She's 85 and doesn't want to be bothered with that sort of thing.
 
I haven't got one. They daren't ask me because their 'performance objectives' score would be seriously dented.

If, and according to the law we are all equal and must not discriminate. Then it doesn't matter if I'm a Chinese homosexual that worships at the gates of hell itself or a white male aethiest that has to pleasure himself because he is too old and ugly to find someone to do it for him, both our answers to the relevent questions must carry the same weight. So these 'extra' questions should never need to be asked.
 
Last week I binned a questionnaire which was thicker and more detailed(intrusive) than the census - that one was from NHS.
 
why do they need to know gender of teh person who had the repair.Is it so that if theres a complaint they will know that either ...

A: a blokes probably tried to address the issue with a butter knife and a tin of beans but made it worse

b: if its a woman its probably not as bad as is been made out but the repair will haunt every repair man that turns up by been mentioned for the next 10 years

:D

It matters to us, so lets be knowing, we know you are not chinese, so are you a white male?

The last questionair i filled out from the NHS was pre operation and it basically took thousands of words to say that if they kill you then tough luck.

why they cant just put something like "we will do our best but if things go wrong you cant sue us" i dont know :)
 
I still haven't heard anyone come up with a viable explanation for Other being included in the Gender section of this document:confused:
 
There may be a small number of hermaphrodites in the British population - perhaps the answer lies there with the "Other" option.
