At least you tried it before rejecting it out of hand. There is a scientist lurking in there. :D

In our KC sample so far, Louise reports a positive outcome and David a negative outcome. The problem is that the sample is stillrather small.

Gareth, how big a sample and how great a hit of positive results would we need before we could begin to draw conclusions from the study?

I don't suffer from hayfever but am available for the purposes of scientific research ( subject to my wife's permission that is).

Thanks for appreciating my gesture Brigid. By the way, I do need photos of applicants first

Louise, if RCT's are what I think they are, I won't be volunteering thank you!

Michael,

I am in the process of putting the DoE (Design of Experiment) together so evrything is randomised and controlled and done as a proper scientific study.

I am afraid you get what you are given and that may be more or less minging ladies as ladies may get minging men :twisted:
