old'un Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Received this in my email the other day, I have filled it in and voiced my concerns about the BBC stance on certain issues, whether it will make any difference I have no idea. If you feel you would like to voice your opinion you need to register for an account before you can fill the survey in….https://www.bbc.co.uk/send/u61149175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Well I guess that if none of us makes an effort, then we will only get what we deserve, a biased one sided view, like I said it may not make any difference but at least it makes me feel better knowing I have made an effort.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I completed a survey about the BBC and its output. I received an email acknowledging receipt, but stating that they may not use my input. I would hazard a guess that if they don't like what people send in, they bin it! So if it makes you feel better, keep filling them in, just don't expect anything to change!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Pointless surveys to assuage someone's conscience with the get out clause of not using your input! You really couldn't make it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may-well be correct, but unless you have any better ideas, I will for now carry on responding to such surveys in the hope it may, I say may just make a little difference.

Someone will see it and give feedback to those who matter; how else do you think all those emails and petitions regarding Packham created a response? You yourself have admitted that a survey you completed generated a response. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but how do they know which ones cater to their agenda if they go unread? Like I said, those regarding Packham were certainly read. I wrote many a letter to the HO over the years, and received ( mostly but not always ) ‘stock’ replies, but someone does see them. I can’t understand why you responded to the survey if you thought otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I responded to the survey in good faith only to receive an automated receipt that stated they may not use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just so cynical David. I bet the BBC have their top man on the case as we speak 😅. And in the real world , I reckon you're absolutely spot on 👍.
