Our survey said...

Well, I've just done something no one has ever done before - gone out onto the streets of London and actively tried to pick up a copy of thelondonpaper. A bit like when I used to write a column for The Big Issue, and each Monday traipsed the length of Oxford Street trying to find the vendors that only materialise when you haven't got £1.50 in your pocket or you genuinely, actually, really have already got that week's edition.

And the result of our experiment, right there in black white (and, er, purple) on page 22 is... drum roll...

MORE 23% BORE 67%.

Which definitively, scientifically proves that - 10% OF THOSE WHO TEXTED IN DID NOT EXPRESS AN OPINION!

Crikey. You don't expect the work experience kids that put thelavatorypaper together to be able to write decent news stories, but you would think they might stretch to adding two numbers together to make 100, wouldn't you?

It doesn't really help our experiment much, either, does it? Ah well, back to the drawing board, Beaker old friend...
