'significant' is a wonderful word. As Sir Humprey said, "Almost anything can be attacked as a loss of amenity, but almost anything can be defended as not a <em>significant</em> loss of amenity".</p> <p>It features highly in work correspondence whenever I want to be slippery. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71763 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:44:44 +0000 RJ 71763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Done. On the basis that "Impacts my safety significantly" = "Has an effect on my safety that may be adverse or benficial, but is not trivial" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71760 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:37:15 +0000 fimm 71760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>done </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71565 Tue, 22 May 2012 18:34:24 +0000 Uberuce 71565@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, see I thought you had done it on purpose, so my answers are therefore a bit nonsense. I could just do it again a few dozen times to swamp out my error, as you rightly point out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71562 Tue, 22 May 2012 18:26:10 +0000 Dave 71562@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. More than 10% of the submissions that the IAM had and it's only been a few hours. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71482 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:08:43 +0000 Dave 71482@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Heh, well caught. I've modified the final question to be less ambiguous (hopefully!)</p> <p>It now reads "Does not impact my safety significantly" / "Impacts my safety significantly" for each of the activities described.</p> <p>There were a few early responses that I think failed to interpret the inner workings of my brain, but that's OK - you'll be lost in aggregate :-P (or you could take it again...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71464 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:40:38 +0000 cc 71464@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I abandoned it because of the wording of the last questions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71462 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:38:47 +0000 Kirst 71462@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've done it, but the wording of the options of the last question is all kerflooey. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71410 Tue, 22 May 2012 09:39:05 +0000 Min 71410@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am sure it is but just to check, is the strange counter-intuitive wording of your final set of questions deliberate? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6670#post-71406 Tue, 22 May 2012 09:26:13 +0000 Dave 71406@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Risking the wrath of Ipsos Mori directors everywhere, I decided that as surveys are a game anyone can play, it might be nice to tweak the nose of the IAM with my own variation on their recent effort.</p> <p>I don't think the forum is wide enough to embed the survey, but you can <a href="http://mccraw.co.uk/sharing-the-road-a-tribute-to-the-iam/">take it by clicking here</a>.</p> <p>It will only take a minute and I promise to make the raw data available as well as mocking the IAM with the conclusions.</p> <p>Please feel free to share it with the various social media buttons. We only need a handful of responses for it to reach the same level of statistical significance as the IAM poll.</p> <p>thanks! </p>
