    Its very worrying how many people rely on BBC for their source of news. BBC new is very unreliable and untrustworthy. There are plenty of independent and unbiased sources or news these days.

    Okay, I'll bite.

    Name them, if there are plenty reeling off at least 5 shouldn't be a problem.

    Same here, except I have a preference for Jaffa cakes

    That's not a biscuit :D
  • I have both an apprenticeship and a City & Guilds certificate but I was not allowed to select both.

    I chose the apprenticeship as in my opinion it is worth far more than any bit of paper saying that I passed an exam.

    My pet peeve with qualification questions in surveys is they never have a category for HNDs which would slot in between NVQ/City and Guilds and degree level.

    Indeed.

    The VATman tried to claim that Jaffa Cakes are biscuits, and therefore subject to VAT.

    McVities mounted a legal challenge, which decided they are cakes, and not subject to VAT.

    Trouble is I tend to visit a number of news sites and listen to news bulletins on various chanels depending on what I want to find out about (including english language versions of foreign press). You weren't allowed to submit more than one choice so it had to be none / other.
  • Seems I'm Mr average except for biscuits, that was the hardest question on the survey.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    You state:
    "Its very worrying how many people rely on BBC for their source of news. BBC new is very unreliable and untrustworthy."
    Your words are written to sound like facts.
    They are not, they are opinion.
    Also, your words, spelling, grammar and punctuation are somewhat "unreliable and untrustworthy."
    FACT !
