Bizarre survey o' the day
Continuing in the grand tradition, the Plain People of France have been polled on which wild animal best symbolises the Pyrénées. Yes, really, the Direction Régionale de l'Environnement – Midi-Pyrénées reckoned it was worth ponying up to poll 1056 people on this topic of vital importance.

The demographic breakdown throws up all sorts of oddities, including the extreme left favouring the marmot (5% vs 2% overall), Frontistes the wolf (14% vs 7% overall), Greens the chamois (6% vs 4% overall) and Modem voters the Pyrennean chamois (8% vs 3% overall). Parisians go for the eagle (7% vs 3% overall)
If it ends in a fight, my money's on the bear rather than the Pyrennean chamois.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
If you unearth a more bizarre survey than that, ever, I shall be mightily surprised.
If I do, it will be a French one, you'll see.
