I have now tried all 6 proposed flavours of Walkers crisps and can safetly say the only ones I would buy are Fish and Chips. Builders Breakfast should be called Dogs Dinner, Chilli and Chocolate is NOT a good combination, Cajun Squirrel is OK but tastes just like Barbeque flavour. Onion bargee is OK but quite bitter, hoisin crispy duck has an accurate flavour but made me feel sick.
What I thought of was going to the Walkers site and saying that as well as liking Fish and Chips the most, I also wanted to deride some of the other entries. Polls are a bit rubbish in that regard which should be surprising since there are people who have degrees in things like marketing and information systems. A poll should allow negative as well as positive voting. If it was a general election, you might expect people who vote Labour would 'un-vote' the Tories and vice-versa but compare the following two sets of data, which would appear to demonstrate two quite different opinions:
Traditional Poll shows labour clearly more favourite
Labour 53,000
Tory 40,000
Lib Dem 20,000
My Poll
Labour 53,000 for, 120,000 against
Tory 40,000 for, 30,000 against
Lib Dem 20,000 for, 100,000 against
What would that tell you? That the opinion against is much more signficant than the opinion for. Who should be put into power with the above statistics? According to the first poll, Labour, according to the second, probably Tory. Makes you think.
On a similar note, remember the 2012 Olympics proposal. Many people I spoke to were either indifferent or opposed to the hassle or particularly the cost of staging the Olympics despite whatever feeble assurances the government gave (and which, surprise, surprise, have already been shown to be grossly wrong). When the bid was being put together, they showed a few hundred people in Trafalger Square going nuts when it was awarded to the UK. What about the other 60,000,000 people who either didn't want it or weren't interested? How were their views taken into account? In short they weren't. Just proves that the system does not want to know the truth, they want to spin whatever they can to conclude whatever they want.
