To earn a few pence, I'm signed up with http://www.onepoll.com/ and fill in surveys whenever I remember to look them up...

Mostly, they are vapid, badly designed and pointless. I've just come across this question:

Which decade would you most like to visit?

and the options are:

Prehistoric
Neolithic and Bronze Ages
Iron Age
Roman Britain
Vikings and Anglo-Saxons
Norman Britain
Middle Ages
Tudors
Civil War and Revolution
Empire and Sea Power
Victorian Britain
World Wars
Britain: 1945 to Present

Now, putting aside the little matter of a decade being 10 years, not just some random era of history....

Prehistoric covers everything before the Romans!

Still, earning 5p to answer stuff like who I think should present X factor is pretty easy, I just click a name at random

(I chose Prehistoric, BTW, although I'd have liked to narrow it down to Mesolithic....)

Oh no. I was in York yesterday and (politely) declined to answer a poll being conducted in the street. It wasn't you was it?

The Viking era has always interested me!

Must have something to do with drinking vasts amount of alcohol, eating legs of venison off the bone, and having wenches falling over themselves to get to me!

No, no, Onepoll is all online. You accrue money very gradually, and they pay out when you reach £40. I'm on YouGov as well - better money per poll, but fewer polls.

I did once allow myself to be stopped in the street and ended up getting £20 to test gravy. Plus, as much gravy as was humanly consumable in half an hour of testing...

I would love to visit the prehistoric and see all those dinosaurs. OTOH I might get eaten by one. Which one's the safest?
