It is repeatedly alleged that the storylines show little awareness of the country and of country life.
This is attributed to the presumption that the writers and management live in Islington, Notting Hill, etc. and holiday in the Caribbean, South Africa, etc.
Can we please have a list of active writers, identifying their places of residence and basis of country experience?

At the same time could we be told the sexual orientation of each writer, the size of their families (if any), where they educate their children, which supermarket they shop in and their shoe sizes.
And what accent they have, and have they ever changed it.

I can't see the need for the shoe sizes***, but agree otherwise.
*** Whoever committed 2/1/11 clearly had size 13s

But how can you expect someone with a size five foot to be able to write about a character with size twelves? How could they possibly empathise?
Actaully while we're about it we probably need the shoe sizes of every character (including silents) so that we can properly assess how the SWs are treating them
Chest, waist, hip and inside leg measurements would come in handy too.
The one statistic I'd like to know is the writers' average IQ. Possibly a similar figure to their average waist size...
Also, a short description of how they got their given names.

Some of the information you seek (although not the shoe sizes) can be found here:
**a short description of how they got their given names. **
Alphabet blocks, or scrabble tiles, wasn't it.
A more simple, less personally invasive challenge, OI -
Each writer shall be required to answer the following question -
"Why do farmers always put the gate in the muddy bit of the field?"

carrick-bend - I trust you were not the Nigel dedding knot?
Do they even know that the gate zone IS muddy?
The one from Bacup will know the countryside - but the Pennines are not Borsetshire by a long way?
I see there is a proper 5/5 gender balance, but only half an obvious effnik (unless Italian spouse counts?). No info on sexual preferences, which is surely required for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú monitoring?
Mentions of actual farming background? err, well, err actually....

You think there are a lot of fat writers on TA? ; -)
