    The whole methodology of the Which reader's survey is wide open to abuse by vested interests.
    So you keep saying, but, and this is a biggie, you have shown no proof that it was.

    how many of the respondees if not actually a rep themselves were closely associated or related to a uw rep?
    Probably the same number as have seen the link to your acclaimed Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card.

    So which "real facts" are we missing out on?
    Any real proof that your wonderful Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card actually exists.

    Others will wonder why you always continue to protest your innocence when we can all see the evidence of your own contradictions!
    Erm, how about you providing the link to your Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card? You have stated such a thing exists but so far you have not provided any evidence of its existence.

    And to say nothing of the personal abuse we suffer from certain uw reps when they get angry.
    That'll be them calling you a "troll" or " a gullible" will it? Oh sorry, that's what you call other people.

    What I and others have pointed out is that any poll which relies on a person registering their preference is open to abuse.
    As you say, any survey is open to abuse, so why pick on specific ones? What evidence can you show that any WHICH? survey has been abused?

    We seem to be having trouble finding any.
    That would be the "royal we" would it?

    Nige has no personal reputation as a pseudonym/username. He would find it very difficult to prove that the reputation or standing of the individual behind the username has been tarnished in any way. If he was identitifed by his real name, or his real business interests were targetted then that would be a different matter, but libel litigation is expensive, so individual-to-individual cases are rare.
    Thanks for the explanation. I did however forgive Quentin some time ago in this thread. I just wish he would post the link to his much vaunted Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card.

    Wrong. A selective survey which weights a survey so age, sex, social and ethnic group (amongst others) are considered and reflected in in any results are representative of the target audience.

    Any survey which asks for a response is open to abuse, end of story. Its not a survey, its a reflection of their readers views. Its certainly not representative of the wider public. I've never said (please quote me) that the Which survey has been abused, I contend that it is open to abuse, which it is. That my friend is a fact....

    But, you have not shown that a WHICH? survey has been abused. Therefore your statement has no relevance until you can prove that such abuse has occurred. It's a bit like Quentin's assertion that he has a cashback card that saves people more money than the Utility Warehouse pre payment card. It has no relevance to this thread unless he provides proof that it actually exists.
