As such, responses are going to be somewhat biased. Now, Alcohol Concern doubtless value their integrity very highly and would be far from happy with a dodgy survey, so perhaps readers here may like to help them out by providing some balance. You could even "be in with a chance of winning one of five £50 Topshop, iTunes or lovetoshop vouchers" for just 2 minutes' of your time. Not too shabby, huh?
The survey can be accessed here and closes on May 29th. Remember that it's for under 18s only. I want to make that absolutely clear, not for adults, OK? You don't have to actually prove you're under 18 (well, so I'm told anyway, I haven't responded myself you understand) but that matters not, it would be wrong to lie ... after all, Don Shenker has never told an untruth in his life. Ever. Wouldn't dream of it.
By all means pass the link around too, I'm sure they'll be delighted.

Easy to forget just how old you are when you have had a pint or two ;)
Not that it's a biased survey or anything like that. And Q11 doesn't even allow you to answer "none of the above".
Wasp: So true. ;)
PC: And if you're 11 years old, you're excluded, it seems.
I lied about my age. Does that make me a bad person?
Duly completed.
My answer to 11 was "A big poster showing Don Shenker choking on his own vomit"
Bucko: Only if you cleared your cookies and did it more than once. ;)
Q8 "Who do you think should be responsible for deciding what alcohol ads can and can’t say?" doesn't allow a "none of the above" answer either. Interesting that the final option is "An independent body".... Hmmm, can anyone think of an independent body that would selflessly carry out such decisions?
You can answer "the alcohol industry" to Q8, though.
Jeez that's a survey? Not much bias then?
Surely a fake charity deserves fake answers. And someone told me the other day I was now in my second childhood!
I'll have another try on my desktop tomoorrow to see if I can get the correct answers.
A grandson has taken the survey. Funny how our views are so similar.
Funny, innit, how many booze ads there are on the internet and facebook etc - hardly any on tee shirts.
But we can be very sure that enough 'interested persons' will be found to take the survey to produce the 'correct' answers. Isn't that what fake charities are for?

"You can answer "the alcohol industry" to Q8, though."
Yeah, but, no, but... given the choices of govt, alcohol business, govt/alc biz, and independent body, it's only too obvious which answer is the "correct" one.
Christ! Is this the way the bastards do all their "surveys"?
Don't bother to answer.

More likely:
But we can be very sure that enough 'interested persons' will be PAID to take the survey to produce the 'correct' answers.
Hope they couldn't detect that I was drinking when I filled this in.
All four times.
"I lied about my age. Does that make me a bad person?"
Only if you try to claim someone else was driving the keyboard at the time.. ;)
I'll do it when I'm suitably refreshed. I just hope that no-one dies of fifth-hand alcohol.

PS Do I need to practise my yoof-speak for the questions that require comment responses?
@ Jay
No, all you need to do is to unlearn all knowledge of spelling and grammar and you'll fit in fine.
"Oops, I did it again". (That was a song wasn't it?
Q9: Who should pay for health messages? The Government or the alcohol industry.
There is no option for health messages are nannying rubbish and not necessary.
Filled it in. Wonder if they can pay out in Euro?
AND!!!
"Under 18?
Can I sue for "discrimination"?
Duly done. My cats are under 18 and I thought "Think of the kittens!"
Your a naughty boy Dickie *hic*

Yeah, I noticed that. I've done it several times in the hope they'd fix this but it's like that every time ;-) On that point, I wonder if they'll notice that a lot of people responded to the survey all using the same mobile phone number. I do hope they try to call it because it's an absolutely genuine and functional UK mobile number - it's just that it doesn't get answered much what with the SIM card being in an old ashtray on a shelf in the bedroom.
"Q9: Who should pay for health messages? The Government or the alcohol industry."
What, no Shenker's mother's quim?
Nuts.
