    Mam just snuck in before the door was closed!

    Need the computer to sort the answers, my phone isn't playing ball. Reveal will be in about an hour

    I can tell you now that the "correct" but utterly irrelevant answer is 24%

    According to a survey by mastercard last year, 12% of people from Ireland start their Christmas shopping in September or earlier, 16% in October, 46% in November and 24% in December.

    Toto Wolfcastle was bang on. But we're not basing the score on being correct, it all depends what everyone what said!

    I was thinking of all the parents who have to at least start a small few bits early to avoid disappointed children.

    It wouldn't take long to get those stocking fillers. After all, Santa Claus would be taking care of the main presents. :)

    I'm just hoping that so many people were way off, as in far higher percentages, that I might have a chance at this mystical median figure!

    Bloody hell! I thought 14% at first but thought it sounded low so I added 10. That’s mad. Bet I’ll still come last though.

    You all did! Despite that survey result being 24%, your median answer was 50% :eek:

    So, how close were you and what did you score...?
