It's all been a lie.

TownieChap was an account set up by a group of students from Liverpool University in order to gain an understanding of how OAPs interact on the internet. Findings will be published in the Secrona Study 2019 available on JMU website at a date yet to be confirmed. Congratulations, you all gave great examples... especially you, Derek H. Many Thanks, JMU media studies.

If this is true then the group of Students have failed that course. First of all a questionnaire would be required to test that all those posting on the site are indeed OAP's By using members of the Public in your study it would have had to have had the approval of the Ethics Commission, and it is highly unlikely that this would pass since those posting on the site were unwilling participants in your study. There is no heading to suggest a control subject of the study, for which you would need information on.
So your claim is a load of B....sh..!

DH has been wonderfully compliant, especially in volunteering useful demographic information about himself.

As a sign of appreciation for the breath of fresh fun you've brought to this forum, I've embedded the following clip for your enjoyment:

Thank you DR. It was so funny.

Top hole DR!

I doubt very much that this is true. Some one on a wind up.

Clearly cobblers. The OP first refers to Liverpool University and then JMU. Two entirely different organisations. Doesn't know his alma mater from his alma pater.

Well, I see the thread is entitled, 'It's all been a lie.' TownieChap's posts on this thread could also be lies.

Next, they'll be claiming to be Senior Lecturers from a University Mathematics Department! .
