Fun Online Polls: The Cause of the Floods & The Four Day Week

Posted on the 17 February 2014 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth
The responses to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
Who or what is to blame for the floods in England? Multiple answers allowed.
EU and Greenie nonsense - 94 votes
Not dredging rivers - 88 votes
Barbara Young (former EA chief) - 66 votes

Building on flood plains - 62 votes
Chris Smith (current EA chief) - 56 votes
Deforestation in uplands - 35 votes
Labour under-investment - 31 votes
Wrong type of rain - 27 votes
Gay marriage - 18 votes
Savage Tory cuts - 11 votes
Climate Change - 10 votes
Other, please specify - 15 votes

So now we know. Rather alarming that more people think gay marriage might be the cause than "Climate Change", which appears to the new name for "weather".
A few people mentioned "water", "the weather" and "the wettest January for 250 years" as possible other explanations, but those were covered by "Wrong type of rain" or "Climate Change"

This week's Fun Online Poll is a something we chat about at work occasionally:
"If your employer offered you a four-day week for the same pay, which day would you take off?"
