Fact remains AKA, that only about 200 pensioners out of a pensioner population of several million (no doubt someone can tell us the exact figure)have been quoted as in favour of means testing, and the Press have presented the survey as though it is fairly representative of pensioners as a whole. This may be the case, and I'm not blaming Gransnet for this situation, but it just goes to confirm what LizG says - most surveys are useless, and can be used by anybody,usually politicians, to prove any point they want to make.
I mean, for heavens sake, 180 people!
