FACEBOOK OR A FLUSHING TOILET?

FB

An odd question?  Apparently not according to the London Science Museum.  They conducted a study recently and found that Brits would be more willing to live without a flushing toilet then give up Facebook.  They only thing they preferred over Facebook was sunshine. 

The first thing Brits were willing to give up?  Twitter. 

This might be an interesting study in the U.S. and Canada.  I know what I would choose. 

While the whole article is rather interesting the bottom line is anyone not utilizing Facebook to promote their business or hoping that Social Media is a passing fancy might want to revisit that thinking. 

Here is the complete article: 

Facebook More Important than Toilets that Flush, Say British

I'm not sure I would give up a flushing toilet for Facebook. I'm sure a lot of the responders to that quiz didn't think it all the way through. Was that quiz conducted on Facebook by any chance?

Hi Frances--I agree with you.  The researchers were actually conducting a survey on clean water.  Go figure.

Hi Connie--I asked the same question, and the article didn't elaborate on that either!

Hi Malcolm--the article didn't say.   It was conducted by the London Science Museum so I guessing that is wasn't. 

Hi Janice--I agree with your answer. 

Hi Debbie--you are very welcome.  It was an interesting survey, to say the least.

Hi Janet - I wouldn't give up the flushing toilet either.  Maybe the Brits just don't appreciate the finer things in life.

Janet - Another survey I read said that 25% of women would rather give up sex than their Facebook account!  What a crazy world we live in!

Hi Sally--Now that is pretty amazing.  I think I would use FB to find a new partner if it was that bad!!!

Hello Janet,

That is so funny! I spend so much time teaching my kids to flush all the time.... I hope they will not forget it when they get older :)

Have a great day.

That's crazy!  I didn't realize they were so into their FB.  On the other hand, I can blame my British cousin for introducing me to FB back in 2007.
