Keeping warm at home | Please share your experiences in a Lancaster University survey

jmresearch

Hi, I'm a researcher at Lancaster University. Following news of the dramatic energy price cap increase, the topic of how to stay warm affordably over the coming winter is on many people's minds. But how did you stay warm at home in more 'normal' times?

I am conducting a study that aims to take stock of how UK residents kept warm over the last two winters. It asks how people dressed, used the heating and/or other sources of warmth - before the present energy crisis. It also asks about any changes during the pandemic, a time when many people spent longer at home including whilst working.

Your participation would help to provide insights relevant to the energy crisis and also the longer term decarbonisation of domestic heating. If you are 18 or over, have been resident in the UK for the last 2 years, please consider taking this anonymous survey. It should take 10-20 minutes.

To read more about the survey and to take part, please follow this link (copy and paste into your browser):

Thank you for including a clickable link.

I set up a dedicated account specifically to post the survey invitation but unfortunately I can't post clickable links yet from a newbie account. I waited and hoped that might change but the research is time sensitive so decided to post anyway.

Many thanks to anyone who has already accessed the survey... despite the awkward link!

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I did because I read the instructions so I copied and pasted it and no information came up.

I've just tried now and it does work, obviously. But hopefully it was as a result of my pointing it out to the OP?

Thanks, I did report the original post because when I copied and pasted, the information didn't come up. (I didn't even try to click on it).

After having graduated from Lancaster myself quite some years ago, I felt that I wanted to help but just couldn't access the information. 

I've just tried now and it does work - so thank you for that, however it was done! 

I took a screenshot of the result I got originally -

Thanks for letting me (and forum team) know about that - it does look odd from the screenshot. Glad it seems to be working ok now. Sorry for any confusion caused!
