Survey Results

With the number of votes, I am surprised we haven't had Google on the phone asking us to restrict bandwidth, and complaining of a down turn in speed on the intergoogleweb.

Drum roll....

With a massive 3 votes ... yes count 'em 3 votes.. the winning vegatable is Potato, everything else came a close second with 1 vote each.... (Carrot, Parsnip, Turnip, Marrow) Everyone likes chips then.

Onto Tertiary colour, bet Wikipedia got a few hits on this one. Well again with a stonking 3 votes Harlequin came out cream of the crop, or should that be green of the crop. It was a close run thing with Marigold coming a close second with 2 votes, bottom of the pile are Scarlet and Magenta, both with no votes! Well let's face it you wouldn't dress your dog in those colours.

So that's that, not really sure what we were expecting.
