Default Poll: Are you Male, Female or Other?

Hello Everyone,

I have found the poll option, so I thought I would post a poll, following on from my previous thread on the subject, to see if we can work out the ratio of men to women badge collectors.

I hope you are willing to contribute to the poll, and I look forward to the results.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Default Lady collectors

Once this may have been the territory of males, over the years I have met and heard of lots of very well versed female collectors, Lelia B. Ryan for example.

Thanks for all your contributions so far.

This reminds me of a poll by some well meaning government body to find what the proportion of Protestants and Catholics made up the Belfast Fire Brigade. Being very PC they gave a list of religions to chose from.
They were confused by the result. They didn't realise thet the brigade had a 99% moslem membership.
They picked one of the orginisations in Belfast who were cross community and didn't like outsiders asking them silly or unnecessary questions.

Default poll

I took part in the poll and noticed that the F and Other did not change! Whew! What a relief. I had a suspicion that the poll might have been rigged! (you never can tell with Politically Correct Persons). Phil says that you have to be prepared for all walks of life. Well I know one thing, If I hear a walk that's "strange" behind me, I lengthen my stride or move into Gallop mode!........Regards, DJ.

( Sorry couldnt resist adding this )

Is the sexual orientation of militaria collectors the reason why occasionally military items on E bay are marked " Gay Interest "?

P.B.

I thought the 'gay interest' gas masks were rather amusing on ebay a while ago.

If I heard a strange walk behind me, I certainly would'nt stop quickly!!

I reckon that the ''others'' could be visiting aliens, so no need to worry, Dave.
