459158 2006-05-30 21:43:00 If the price of fuel was to rise any further is public transport easily available to you?

Dosent make sense :confused: what does the price of fuel have to do with availability of public transport.
I think the point of that is are you likely to use public trasnpsort - and CAN you use it. For instance where I live there isn't any so I couldn't even if I wanted to.

459161 2006-05-30 22:55:00 Lagbort - I'll be interested if anyone says they accept the current tax on fuel. It is a fair question but when you ask anyone if they'd like to pay less tax - the answer will always be YES!!! So the answer doesn't really inform you.

Might I suggest the better question would be - should fuel tax be spent on roading exclusively, or energy exploration/alternative fuels, or policing, or hospitals (accidents)? At present a fair slice goes into general government funds instead of roads.

459162 2006-05-31 07:04:00 well I can tgell you winston I have had a couple of responses in the affirmative to that tax question, but yes I agree If I had had more time I would have done a better job on the questions, but this is me being 2 weeks behind :p lagbort (5041)
459163 2006-05-31 08:29:00 Hi Lagbort. Don't lose any sleep over the niggles about your questions. Almost any questionnnaire can be faulted. There are people out there who make a living out of trying to define perfect questions for such things - or even define questions which will draw a desired or skewed answer to meet their client's political ends. Its an art. Scouse (83)

That's fair comment and you've done a good job.
