The two polls posted on here today are really good questions and would be great as part of a survey. Didn't shmee say he would do one?

Definitely.. I was thinking would it be possible to collect the first part of entrants postcodes (or their country if they are not living in UK) e.g. CV1 etc.

The first question was a rubbish one, but one you could easily get without asking it with a decent questionnaire system.

q1) do you go to Sixfields
- yes
- no

.
Q9)tell us where you live:
- Coventry
- Warwickshire
- elsewhere in the uk
- outside the uk

The analysis of it without a postcode database would be a bugger though.

If you could collect GPS co-ords you could map them!

It wouldn't be too bad cv1-7ish is Coventry, the rest of the cv's is warwickshire, and anything else is elsewhere.

Fair enough.

Is the extra granularity worth it? Are there any close non-CV post codes that would need to be counted? (My geography is fucking awful, but there's something the other side of Cov right?)

Maybe neighbouring code - high CV, NN, LE, B etc (and yes, I did use to work for the Post Office, hence the postcode bore!).
Might help differentiaite those who are further afield - if deemed necessay of course.

Yep apparently Wolvey, poor buggers have a leicestershire post code.

I'm east of the City and have a CV postcode.

Couldnt answer your original poll, as I am not Coventry born, but lived in City from a few weeks old, and now in Warwickshire, but dont go to Sixfields and couldn't find that option!

I think for addresses close to Cov an idea of whether that is to the N/S/E or W is probably desirable info to collect..

Fucking outliers!

Surely you'd be "Not born in Coventry" and "Warwickshire/close to Coventry" then one of the "I don't go options"?

To be clear, I think whether you were born is is irrelevant and a case like yours shows why, but apparently people want this. You'd have to ask them whether you count as "from Cov" or not.

Edit: Maybe "grew up in Coventry" would be better? But what about my Wife who was born here, grew up all over the place as an army brat then came back in her teens and has lived here since? Well it doesn't matter because she supports fucking Leeds!

This is a good map for showing this http://www.free-postcode-maps.co.uk/

Only bit of the local area without a CV postcode is around East Warwickshire (Wolvey way) with a Leicester LE postcode :mad:

However I never knew such a large part of Leicestershire had our CV postcode :D

To be clear, I'm thinking from a simplified data analysis angle. It's easy enough to search for CV or CV1-7, but the more special cases you add the more work it is. Seems to me the question as I have it covers what people want to know (are you local?)

Instead of grew up here or born here you could simply have from here?

Asking someone where their from normally results in an answer of where they identify as home, rather than where they were born or currently live.

I had from in my first draft, but changed it because what about Moff, or someone who thinks they're "from" somewhere else. The whole thing is a clusterfuck statistically because the question is a stupid one IMO.

Could we include an option lIke, "once went shopping to Primark in Coventry" or "regular visitor to Central Six" ;)

@Michael: Been looking for a survey site that blocks multi-votes as much as possible and allows a large amount of responses (>1000)

The best I can find is http://www.surveygizmo.com/plans-pricing/ which offers a student version for free for 14 days. I can easily pretend I set a student this as an assignment if needed.

Other than that you need to pay for Pro accounts to get the features needed, unless you know of something better?

If not, I'd say use that site, I can use the free version to get the hang of it, then use the Student Trial to get 14 days free where we can get the survey out and the results analysed. Also you can embed in emails/facebook/twitter easily (apparently). Let me know if you want that.

Or of course, someone can chip in the cash to buy another service?

What about "Do you consider yourself from Coventry"?

It's about the only meaningful thing.

Someone get Valiant15 in here.
