The NDF photo survey was taken at the Jester Festival on Fortune Green on 30June - 1July 2012. People passing our stall were asked to look at the pictures and tick the boxes “Love it, Hate it, No comment”, and make comments if they wanted. The results, verbatim where we could read the writing, are as below. The numbers in each box relate to the number of ticks, we assumed that a comment would be accompanied by a tick.
