HJ Latest Survey ref COVID - 19 v New car Purchase - paul mack

Hi HJ & Team,
I just thought I would give some feedback on the latest survey you have sent out (received today 10th Sept 2020) for readers/drivers to complete.

Being honest, I found the survey a total waste of time and suggest the findings from it will be total nonsense. (This is NOT a complaint).

The thinking behind my comments are:
You ask that we complete One answer for each COLUMN??

In my opinion, it should have been ONE answer per ROW.

By answering as you suggest is producing a totally different outcome, ie
Ref electric cars, I personally would not have an electric car given to me, I am in no way attracted to them, however, when the survey takes my answers into account it will think I like them because of the way the survey is structured.

Ditto for the rest of the survey.
So for me, a pointless exercise resulting in a false outcome.
Nb Or was that the aim?

Please take these comments as constructive not destructive and I hope you see what I am saying.

Best wishes

Paul

I haven't seen this, and can't find any reference to it on the website.

Can you tell us where this came from, so that I can pass your comments on to the right people.
