Jenni Tilley answered on 20 Jun 2011:
we don’t know but we’re pretty sure we don’t. Lots of people get by just fine without one, including me 🙂
Mark Burnley answered on 20 Jun 2011:
Agree with Jenni (even though I’ve still got mine)!
Stuart Mourton answered on 21 Jun 2011:
as Jenni says, not having one doesn’t seem to affect people, so possibly not.

Yep, I get by fine without mine – and if I had kept it I would not have been taking part in this competition.
