W: Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions?
M: Well, I don’t know. I am in rather a hurry actually.
W: It won’ t take a moment.  We’ re doing a public opinion poll on some important political questions to try to find out if the Government really has support for its policies. The results are going to be published in a national newspaper.
M: Oh, all right, then.
W: Thanks.  Well, I’ll read out statements and you have to say whether you agree strongly, agree, disagree, disagree strongly or just don’t know. OK?
M: Yes.
W: Well, first of all, "Policemen should always carry guns." Do you agree?
M: No, not always.
W: What is your opinion?
M: They shouldn’ t do that when they’ re on normal duty. But if they’ re chasing a criminal who they know has got a gun, then they should .be armed as well.
W: OK, next question.  "Britain should drive on the right-hand side of the road."
M: What rubbish! Why doesn’t everybody else drive on the left?
W: All right. One more question: "Britain should leave the EEC."
M: That’ s nasty. I wash’ t in favor of us joining, but I think it would be difficult to leave now. I think we’ll just have to stay in and make the best of it.
W: OK, that’ s all. Thank you very much.
