Rant - ignore.
F77636?thread=2899393 - as usual thread closed ("don't you bloody bother us!!!") so I'll just post here:
"We're pleased to be able to say that this survey should also be open to our non-UK Researchers"
So do they have different surveys going on at the same time? I've just had one, and when I told I was in 'Europe, elsewhere' I was told that 'Unfortunately, on this occasion we are only looking for UK users opinions only' - thank you very much, blind end. Didn't even get a link back to h2g2! Should I be surprised? I'm not.
Maybe they just didn't want me to answer: No, I would NOT recommend this site to anyone. No no no!!

Yes, I was a little irritated that I didn't even get a link back to h2. I'll just click on "no" from now on.

You wouldn't recommend the site itself, but you *would* recommend the No No No thread?
(I haven't had the survey either. Which doesn't surprise me, since it's a UK site, geared towards UKers, with everything UK centric, and filled with UK opinion, UK spellings, and governed by a UK profanity filter, so why should they value the input of non-UK users and researchers, even though they're very happy to use what we produce here? Yep, it's the Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything - just so long as it's from a UK point of view. )

It's the Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything? Where?? There must be something here that I haven't seen!
I'm not surprised at all that they wont let us take the survey. Call me stupid, but I *am* surprised that they make an announcement saying that there'll be one being open to us if there isn't.
I was going to post a link to the survey, but I see that while I'm writing this Tit has already done it. (Psst! It's no problem pretending to be in UK, but of course we wouldn't want to do that. )
"Before you begin, you need to make sure that your browser is maximised (i.e. that it covers your whole screen). If necessary, you can do this by clicking the maximise button in the top, right-hand corner of your browser."
Guess what? I do NOT have a maximise button in the top, right-hand corner of any of my browsers (not even IE). Morons!

Why does it have to be maximised?

If you're in Israel, the buttons would be on the left side of the screen, for obvious reasons.
I don't get the survey, either, and I AM in the UK.
