Just filled this in myself! The survey will be running until around the start of October so there's still heaps of time to fill it out - don't let it fall off your radar!!
Damn, look how many of you have filled in the survey in its first week! (Yes I *have* made a respondent-meter like it’s a village hall fundraiser - let me have my little whimsies)
