      As Sheal is in the same boat, I think we should start a protest action! :snork:

        I'll join the march :blue thumb:.

        Wait a minute! I'm not leaving the U.K. to go on a march! :nonofinger:

        If you held it here you would then be in the U.K. and could fill in the survey :heehee:

        Don't think Sheal does boats! They have enough trouble getting a ferry to dock at the island :roflol:

          How long do you think it will be before you lose it somewhere in the garden? :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            I agree. I think it's the first one in years that has a well organised survey, with correct spelling and grammar. :blue thumb:

            The other universities need to take a lesson from this. :old: :)

                Hey! I've had a good thought :hate-shocked: :ideaIPB:

                What about producing the smaller gardening tools with a homing device fitted in them?

                Even better - make a 'homing kit' with one controller and a few 'homers' that have straps for you to attach to the tools. You, then, wouldn't need them installed on every tool but could just attach them to the ones that seems to run away all the time. Can be used on children as well :thumbsup: :)

                    Thanks to those that filled it out already and thank you for your kind words!

                    To those outside of UK, I came over to the UK from the Netherlands and have not regretted it so far.. so if you immigrate to UK quickly (before the end of July), you can still participate in the survey :dbgrtmb:

                            Not sure if you have managed to contact any of the staff yet, but I can see no reason why you cannot continue with your survey, especially as it is for your PhD.
                            Good luck :blue thumb:
