Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN. The task was given to a multi-lingual International Survey Company based in southern India.
The only question asked was:-
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure because of the following:
1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
3. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
8. In Australia they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent

About Me
- Graeme Edward Brattle
- I am a 64 year old who has been happily married to Vivien for well over half of my life. Work wise, apart from promoting our on line business, Where there is a Will, I am assisting in a practical way at the church we attend (Gold Coast Christian Family at Mudgeeraba some 15 minutes drive north from our unit at Burleigh Heads) Our business site majors on being a peace of mind site where people can go to record where their important documents are held. Health details can also be recorded as well as details about any pets that they may have under their care. We do not record the content of any documents but only their locations. Likewise, in the matters of health and pets, a print out can be taken that can be placed in a persons purse or wallet to further assist with their peace of mind. it is important that you only record what you are willing for others to see and this is explained in question 12 of our 'Frequently asked Questions' section of the site. Health wise, I am trying to reduce my weight through swimming and walking with the odd bit of tennis thrown in'.
