This cushion got my stamp of approval (sorry, couldn't resist!)...
(Skye just won the Qantas Australian Woman of the Year in the UK Award and is the Head Chef at Michelin-starred Petersham Nurseries.)
I agreed (for the most part) with Lucy Mangan's 5 useful questions for the census...
(FYI: the response to Qs 1, 3 and 5 is Eeeeeewwwww!! Qs 2 and 4 are under advisement)
...but what I was really searching for was this:
And after perusing said list, what do you think my first thought was?
'Hey I've only seen 22 of them! Best I take this list home for future reference.'
Just what is it about a 'Bucket List' that makes one feel unread / uncultured / unadventurous / unproductive?

Interesting you mention the census. I was fascinated by the questions and possible answers.
Yes, it's strange how bucket lists, top 50 film lists, classics-you-should-read lists make you feel inadequate. Instead of focusing on those you've done/seen/read, you think -- OK. A book a week, 2 films every Sunday, plus a course of skydiving. Have I got enough years left?
Which kind of spoils the experience...
@Kate - I know...what do you think the first thing I do is when I get my annual handbook of National Trust properties? Highlight the ones I've seen and turn down the pages to mark those that are on this year's 'list'! I also have a little voice in my head telling me that not having a car is no excuse and I should at least get the 'London' ones ticked off.
@Happy Homemaker UK...yes the mind boggles doesn't it? Gazing out the window of the train and thinking exactly that made for an interesting commute!
