Having read all the Poirots I'm now starting on the Marples and although this was a pretty good story I find that I just don't like Jane Marple. She's just as smug as Poirot, but whereas he was always written as a bit of a joke - very good at what he does but not nearly so good as he believes himself to be - Miss Marple is written as exactly as good as she thinks she is. The other characters find her irritating at times, but they have to admit she is always right. Poiroit's absurd self-confidence is funny. Marple's false humility is annoying.

I did a survey
Roy Morgan offered me $3.70 (500 points that I can put toward the 2700 points I'd need for a $20 voucher) to do a survey, so I decided to do it. I've seen all these questions before, because they're the same ones I sometimes get other people to answer when I'm working for Roy Morgan, and some of them are really dumb, so I thought I'd share them.
