Surprised you say that - as above, 100% worked for me.

Edit: note there are some exclusions including charities and I think government / government research (or something like that).

That isn't surprising. I used to work in the research section of the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Board in SA.

In 1985 our research was published in the MJA and the Drug and Alcohol Review. This is an excerpt from the latter:

"Major findings of the survey were that whilst the average daily consumption of alcohol by persons was not significantly different from consumption reported in February 1977, there was an increase in the average daily consumption of alcohol by women during this period. The reported average consumption of beer fell, especially with men aged 40–64 years. In contrast, the average consumption of wine increased, particularly amongst women."

I had a strange number ring my mobile today. Sorry I don't answer calls from numbers that come up - all my contacts have names and almost all have photos (and a special ring tone for AFF/FT'ers).

If they want to talk to me, they'll leave a message and I'll decide whether to return the call

Not sure how some people think they have a right to judge others when they can't even do basic English comprehension.
