Get rid of the herbicide, get some Eeyores. They love thistles.

Herbie Hancock's better for the environment.


Anyway, on YouGov, you can see the political opinion, age and gender of those who like particular topics. If you ask about wargaming, they are predominantly male, politically neutral and .... very, very young.

This leads me to the obvious conclusion that not many forum members are also signed up to YouGov.

Ah! Fletcher Platt! First encountered in Donald Featherstone's Naval Wargames - my introduction to 'organised' rule playing wargames. Much to thank Don for and the local library there!  :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Thirded!

Don's "Naval Wargames" was the request that finally drove the local Children's Library staff to get me access to the Adult section of the library!

Apparently the Children's Library didn't stock Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, books on mummification in Ancient Egypt or Jane's Fighting Ships 1942 as a regular thing and the staff got fed up trotting across the hall to the Adult section and explaining that, Yes! They were sure the child in question really would read these things! :)

Our school had a scheme where they would source Penguin books.
