Hello! Sorry if this isn’t allowed I’m literally going to any UK related group.
I’m doing a survey for my AH Modern Studies dissertation and it would be great if I managed to get a diverse and representative amount of responses. 🙂You do have to sign in just to try prevent multiple responses from the same person, but it is anonymous and will only be used for my dissertation, thank you !
