Home Survey Take 2

Happywanderer · The Master

No one else voting?

Pam · Guru

2000 + members. I wonder how many will have a bit of fun and vote.
Its interesting seeing the demographic of the group don't you think.

Hylda&Jon · Guru

Our house is rented out for another year while we are on the road so we have 2 homes, so what answer are people like us suppose to give????

Jon

Happywanderer · The Master

You could vote, Where ever my bed is!!!
That would be relevant to travellers on the road permanently.

Hylda&Jon · Guru

I guess thats the best answer as it will show how many of us active members are on the road at the moment

Cheers
Jon

Where you call home is not the same as where you are or where your bed is.
Lots of Australians still call England "home".
Maybe you need a third try?

Cheers,

Is Newcastle "City" or "Country".... Country people reckon it's city; City people reckon it's country....

or..

as Paul Keeting (remember him? confuse

) once said, If you don't live in Sydney you're camping out. wink

PS: I answered "Country NSW" as I assumed that by "City" you meant "Capital City"

Please don't get me wrong Pam, it's a great little survey and if there's a reasonable participation it should give an interesting profile of the forum's membership.

But... (you knew this was coming didn't you? wink

)

at the risk of appearing pedantic, it can be a challenge to ensure that the questions are clear and unambiguous, such as my query about what is city and what is country, also what is meant by "Wherever my bed is"; is this intended to cover those full time "on the road" ?

As most of us lack mind-reading skills, what is clear in your mind may not be so clear to the rest of us.

best wishes,

Jim

Firefly · Guru

Great idea Pam and a bit of fun to boot mate. wink

I wish I was number one but alas the demon work has me in its clutches more often than not.

One day, one day.

Would be interesting to know each states rego number for RV vechiles I would have thought Victoria would win hands down not so with our group

Beth54 · Guru

I'm in Logan Qld. It's a city in itself, although on the southside of Brisbane. When someone asks where I'm from, I tend to say Brisbane because no-one seems to have heard of Logan, or if they have, they say 'oh! a Logan bogan!'

Jim,
This is just for fun and maybe to learn a little about our group here.
Interpret the categories how ever you choose.

Why not put your own survey on here and ask us Brickies

Beth54 · Guru

I'm finding the results very interesting Pam. Twas a good idea! smile

Country NSW is in the lead at the moment. I wonder if NSW has the larger population in general?

brickies · Guru

Pam thats not a survey that we could run our membership is is such small number of people on the road but if we did know how many RV vechiles on register in Australia we would be blown away we have just over 2000 member CMCA has 59000 members and there is a lot out there just doing their thing

colsa · Senior Member

"Where ever my bed is " is our home, we're like the snail always have our home with us. Don't own a house and have been living this way for over 4years now and got no intention of changing.

Nicholstones · Guru

Find it hard to believe such a small proportion being from VIC, I reckon 2 out 3 rego plates are always victorian no matter what caravan park you are in.

Popeye · Senior Member

Very hard for me I had been on the road full time since 1972. But now at home looking after mum as she has timers.

Happywanderer · The Master

I would have thought more Vics as well. Hard to work out as it is in percentages. Doesn't tell you exactly how many people in those areas, and my brain is not into working out percentages tongiht.

I think maybe 5 in Country Vic and 2 1/2 in City Vic. Hows that!!
Or is it 4 3/4s.

Cruising Granny · Guru

I'm a turtle too. No real estate or furniture for me either.
Surveys can give misleading results. This one might get close to giving you a picture of how it works out here.
Not everyone is on this forum. Not everyone is a member of a caravan or motor home club.
Not everyone uses van parks. Not everyone free camps.
I would find the outcome of the van park vs free camp statistics interesting.

Ma · Guru

Would have to include a topic for those of us who use both freebies and parks CG

Cruising Granny · Guru

That's what I was hinting at.
It's hard to do the city vs regional city vs country, as we are all on the move, and some of us don't have a fixed address to which we return.
The freebie vs the van park would be a good comparison.

Firefly · Guru

Start a new one Chris, its all a bit of fun and gives us an idea of members preferences thats for sure.

Thanks for starting this one Pam, its great to see where some are situated and excellent to see the ones on the road all the time. smile

jimricho · Guru

HEY!.... C'mon NSW get in and vote... We can't let those Banana Benders beat us C ockroaches from south of the Tweed!

(edit...bloody nanny censor again!)
