Buy a cow - it's quite simple :lol:

Thanks Icy,
Well, so far it looks like we're off to Chamonix in March next year :D

Night, night Andy :D

I wasn't really planning on people actually doing the survey until after we'd discussed the questions to see if they needed improving, but I managed to work out how to get the results, and I've just been looking at them and 5 people have voted already - thanks everyone :D

5 people have voted so far on the 10 questions :D

5/5 said they would like to go on a J2Ski group ski holiday.

1 person voted to go during school holidays, 4 people voted no to this.

The greatest number of votes was for Chamonix.

2/3 wanted S/C, 3/5 hotel, 3/5 catered chalet (obviously multiple selection going on here - didn't know the site did that.)

Self-drive 1/5, train 2/5, fly 4/5.

Favourite month - March 5/5

4 people with one person in their family group, 1 with two people.

Cost brackets for accommodation and transfers (not flights etc. - did you all realize this?)

£400 - £600 = 1
£600 - £800 = 3
£800 - £1000 = 1

4 intermediate skiers, 1 advanced

2 don't need to hire anything, 3 need skis

I wish Icy would come back, myself. I could do with him helping me over the group holiday survey. I'm sure he could design it much better than me. But perhaps not, if he's drunk as well ....

I had a go just now with Survey Monkey to design a simple survey to answer these sort of questions. I don't want you to actually do the survey but just to look at the questions and suggest things like other resorts and other questions we need to ask etc. I haven't thought much about the resorts - I just put down the first ones that came into my head because this is only a prototype survey. It seems that I can make a survey with 10 questions for nothing.

I added the last question just to make it 10. I expect someone could think of a more useful question.

I have no idea how I get hold of the answers yet - but presumably it tells you that somewhere on the survey Monkey website :lol:

I thought I'd repeat this as I wrote it several pages ago. I'm still looking for helpful comments to improve the survey before we actually start using it. It's a big pity that our resident marketing man seems to be off duty tonight :wink:

Oh I'm sorry Snapzzz :oops:

I didn't mean it like that. Farmland doesn't produce any profit - just lots of very hard work and large bills. For years I spent my days milking cows and shovelling cow muck and now I spend my time cleaning toilets etc. Hardly middle-class occupations!

That's really terrible Snapzzz :shock:

And I thought my kitchen was a mess!

We have about 160 acres but we don't cut it all with a lawnmower :lol:

I use my dad's 40 year old petrol Hayter mower, possibly 18 inch cut (I don't know I've never measured it) and it takes me about 4 hours to mow all the grass. We have a huge pond etc. and about 6 different garden areas and I wouldn't be able to do it with a ride-on mower. Mowing the lawns is very good exercise for me - saves a fortune on going to the gym. I mowed ours a few days ago.
