This is what it says about my neighbourhood and it's pretty accurate as well drooling.gif

These are affluent people living in largely suburban areas. Households tend be a mixture of couples, families and singles, but with fewer children and more retired people than the UK as a whole. People tend to be well educated, and employed in senior managerial and professional occupations.

Property is a mixture of houses and flats. The houses tend to be large, with four or more bedrooms, with slightly more semi-detached than detached and terraced. Flats are a mixture of purpose built and converted, some of which are privately rented. Reflecting the slightly older age profile of the people in this type, more of the houses are owned outright.

Car ownership is high with two cars being very common. One of the cars is likely to be a high value company car.

These affluent individuals have high incomes as well as high levels of savings and investments. They are also characterised by high credit card limits and high credit card usage. They make investments using financial advisers and brokers, as well as directly using the Internet. Internet banking is very common.

All the major broadsheets are read, and interests include fine arts and antiques, theatre and good food and wine. Eating out is also popular.

These are family suburbs in relatively prosperous post-industrial areas.

Households tend to be larger families, often with primary school children. False not many kids here. They are typically buying their three or four bedroom semi-detached house on a mortgage. Incomes are above average. These people either work in middle management or clerical jobs, or have a skilled trade. The main income is often supplemented by female part–time work. Families may own two cars, one of them a company car.

Financial caution is a characteristic of people in these communities. Most will have made adequate pension provision through company or private schemes, and many will have mortgage protection insurance. They are likely to save regularly perhaps into a child savings plan. Some will own stocks and shares they have acquired through demutualisation and privatisation.

Leisure activities include golf don't know anyone who plays it despite living near a golf course, going to the cinema and watching TV. Packaged holidays to Europe and the Mediterranean are popular but many will holiday at home, perhaps in self-catered accommodation.

With larger families the food bill is relatively high, so price is important and stores like Asda are popular. I Love Asda shop there every week, lol.

Many families will have a home PC which may be used by the children for education and playing computer games. Although some adults may use the Internet as a financial channel, most prefer the face-to-face contact of their bank or building society branch.

Mine said exactly the same as Traceys! Most of it was accurate about where I live apart from the golf bit.
