the US orientated questions on the lower left

I have never answered one before, but due to chatterbank being legended out and boring i have been browsing. The question was: Have you ever been out of your country before? there were two choices: yes or no. can someone explain the relevence for any purpose of this poll? i answered yes, but nothing happened, what a vague, pointless, uniformative piece of research!!!!!!!! If they had even asked which country you have been out of it would have had a smidgen of research credibility.

this poll is actually run by the Home Office. They are collecting data for when they introduce compulsory ID cards. Have you already filled in the bits that ask your income, your favourite movie and where you were on 9/11?

I agree Dot,
It's as daft as the question of whether soup kitchens attract the homeless in London - yes or no. Surely the reason they are there is to feed the homeless.

Are these sponsored questions, or has Legend hacked into the main AB page?

I feel the word legended is no more made up than impostering or imposterer and they are banded around this site like they are fresh out of the OED. Embrace that you have inspired a word and see if you can make it into a credible dictionary.
