Nikki - Woolridge and colleague Jenny Ingram *rip this paper to 
shreds* in the current issue of MIDIRS - not sure if available on 
line.

It is an awful paper - why and how  it ever got past peer review, I don't know.

Methodology and  sampling are  very poor - i can't begin to tell you 
the many ways it falls short of anything we should pay attention to, 
except as an example to show students learning about how to assess 
research papers.
