To have received an email from the Environment Agency saying that in the next few days you'll be asked to join in the survey on the close season?
At a rough guess, 20,000 represents just under 2% of the angling population and if genuinely picked at random (there should be some national electoral office overseeing this) then it is a pretty decent sample. Although why we can't all join in by entering our licence number and once it's registered that's it, no one else can use the same number, I don't know.
Unless the questions are complicated - or worse still - LOADED!
I remember getting a survey from Lloyds bank years ago asking daft questions like "Do you think the service we offer is good, great or excellent. A little bit loaded, IMO.
Stand by, I am about to vent my feelings.
But like I was told years ago, "The EA have a duty to consult, but they don't have a duty to listen."
THIS WILL BE INTERESTING!!!:wh
