      "1300 comments"

      So that was mine and another 1299 then
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        Yes because even if we assume no geeks mass-submitted answers to the poll from botnets, this opinion is representative of people who ... read BBC news online website! And not everybody does it, so this opinion is not necesserily the same as opinions of people in the country even though in some cases it may as well be the same.

          I take the point Alexei, but:

          Would anyone be @rsed to mass-submit answers for this?

          54,000 is fifty times what Mori have to use for a valid poll.

          81% is pretty conclusive.

            Blunkett quits after 'mistakes'

            David Blunkett
            Mr Blunkett: Second resignation

            Blunkett's statement
            David Blunkett has said he is "deeply sorry" for the embarrassment he has caused Tony Blair, after he resigned as work and pensions secretary.

            He said he was guilty of making a mistake on three occasions and was now "paying the price for it".

            Tony Blair described Mr Blunkett as a "decent and honourable man".

            Mr Blunkett quit after breaking the ministerial code of conduct over paid work he took while out of the Cabinet. Hilary Benn is tipped to replace him.

            Michael Howard said the events showed a "haemorrhage" of Mr Blair's authority.
            He's gone !

              I think you don't understand concept of representation. Lets say all members of the Tory party will be polled on who should be the next PM - what percentage do you think Labour will score? Not much, but this poll will be invalid because its not representative of the country. Same here - old people who number significantly are much less likely to answer online polls like the one on BBC site, which is why BBC correctly disclaims that poll results (regardless of number of respondednts) may not be representative.

              When Mori does its poll they are careful to include representative sample of the national public.

              In this case poll is likely to have similar numbers as Mori, but you miss the point that disclaimers are GENERIC not specific, say tomorrow BBC will make poll on subject -- who thinks they can't live without IPOD? And results for online BBC poll will certainly not be representative of nation because old people don't even know what IPOD is.

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      Someone with inside information perhaps?

                      Someone like Blunkett?
