Anyone else read through the british survey in februarys 'mixmag'? I found it to be quite interesting. Keep in mind that the stats are not representative of the whole BRITISH population, but from mixmag's readers - and probably those who are into or interested in the clubbing scene would have actually replied. Im not too sure myself whether surveys have a positive or negative impact, so take from it what you will...
