NOW CLOSED: The Great Gransnet Census

I left the annual income blank, as there wasn't an option to opt out. I don't think it's relevant.

Done it! Not quite to the best of my ability, as they say, but DH is wondering about his dinner and he's not well, poor soul ..........................

Done it.

I'm dieting!
I will not be distracted from my sacred mission to get a crescent moon on GN!

On the other hand I am very partial to sparkling?

Preferably Landon black label!

Lanson!

Done.

Poor you lot looking at my sad life!

I'm not that boring really, honest.

I have done the survey but found a couple of the questions difficult to answer. The one about attitudes to life over 50 was problematic because my targets and plans when I was 51 bear no resemblance to my current situation and outlook at 66. I was also unsure what to put in answer to the health question. I consider myself to be in relatively good health for my age because I do not have one SERIOUS condition, but rather four less serious things which when combined DO influence what I can or cannot do. And that is not even thinking about the things I have had since I was young -low blood pressure, migraine, hayfever which I take for granted. I think this may well be the case for most older people - a relatively minor illness can be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I don't think it's worth stressing about - it's only a survey, and a general overview is what they're looking for. BTW I do think income is relevant in a survey of this kind, ninathenana, for the same reason.

I think you might be over-thinking it Granny23.

They are probably hoping we are all rich so that advertisers will be encouraged onto the site.

I expect to win the Ecover gift box.

I expect to win nothing! I did it as well as I could, but some questions are not relevant for expats, and I consider my life to be one long holiday!
I have suggested we need 'delete' and 'edit' buttons.

I can't see why we'd need a 'delete' button, but have included 'edit' along with my 'more emoticons' request.

Some people might regret posting something and wish to remove it.

I got to bottom and as I realised they wanted my details and email address, I left that blank. There were a lot of questions there that suggested to me that if I gave my details I would become a target for advertisers. I would rather not bother with prizes than be inundated with adverts.

It does say that no individual details will be passed to third parties, and I trust them!

Done it.
granny23 my blood pressure is always low eg 119/60 last reading, but I took that as a good thing. ????
What does a crescent moon signify?

I think Gransnet already has our alias and e-mail address, doesn't it? I tended to skip very personal details. I hope it doesn't preclude me winning free tickets to Gransnight at Stringfellows.

A crescent moon would mean night night, sleep tight.

Edit and delete buttons would get us in a right old pickle!

I have just spent a good 20 mins filling the census form in and the sight crashed. Haven't the inclination to do it all again! Sorry Gransnet

All done

Done. I see the top prize is a stay in a hotel for two adults and two children. This is a bit off-putting for those who are alone (I assume there would be no cash equivalent!). I'm sure I won't win the top prize but I think a little more thought could have been put into the top prize. In my own case, I am a widow, have no children, and all my friends and family have partners - so that prize would be of little use to me! I think there will be a number of people on here who are widowed.

for the picture. I wish my bosom was that firm and I was that slim!
