Making a monkey of surveys

Some online surveys I get seem to be powered by a thing called 'Survey Monkey'.

Never really thought about it until now, but considering the number we get, and the value most have, you could do worse to hire a troupe of chimps to write the questions, ask 'em, collate the answers, publish the results and then report on them.

The latter brings me to the fact that according to the BBC (I'm sure some online will clarify further later) the people of Winchester need to hang their heads in shame.

Yes, in the nth survey result of the week on matters eco, and the second just today, we learn that this fair town is single-handedly causing the world to burn.

There will be a fuss, and a flurry of stuff, and then the circus will move on. What possible use is all that?
