Probably fair as a generalisation I guess.

Although they could have fooled me with this one "Car ownership is below the national average"!

 

Nowt Bloody Wrong Wi Kendray

 

Sounds like a great area.

 

Taxi drivers, takeaways and friends can't find me house

so you lot have no chance.

Anyway, have I upset someone?

It's no 3 red door.

Oops!

And furthermore ES

who would want to come looking for an old pensioner living in the Ilses of Scilly?

Honest, it says so.

 

Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be mature families living in suburban semis. These are known as type 29 in the ACORN classification and 3.28% of the UK&rsquo;s population live in this type.</p>

Neighbourhoods fitting this profile are found in Outer London in Bexley, Havering and Sutton as well as in Dartford, Watford, Stockport, Solihull and the Wirral. Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood:</p><div style="margin: 1.5em 0px 1em 5em; width: 400px"><table class="verticaltable verticaltable-color" summary="Overview of likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood" border="0"><tbody><tr><th class="rowcontrast" scope="row">Family income</th><td class="rowcontrast">Medium</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Interest in current affairs</th><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><th class="rowcontrast" scope="row">Housing - with mortgage</th><td class="rowcontrast">High</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Educated - to degree</th><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><th class="rowcontrast" scope="row">Couples with children</th><td class="rowcontrast">High</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Have satellite TV</th><td>Medium</td></tr></tbody></table></div>

Empty nesters and couples with older children give a firmly middle-aged feel to this type. Homes tend to be semi-detached and employment is more likely to be in office or clerical jobs. Many women work part-time now that their children are older or have left home. This supplements the family income, so earnings are above average.

Over time these families have built up investments in ISAs, stocks and shares or in a savings account. Many have also paid off their mortgage, so have equity in their house. For financial transactions they are most comfortable with the face-to-face contact at a building society or bank branch, rather than using direct channels such as the Internet. The company pension is an important provision for the later years of these householder&rsquo;s lives.

These people watch a lot of TV but also enjoy an occasional meal out in a restaurant. They have the money to take regular holidays, perhaps a winter sun break as well as a summer holiday.

The Daily Express and Daily Mail are the most popular newspapers.

Car ownership is above average with a mid-range family saloon a popular choice. Around a third of households can afford to run two cars. </p>

 

Couples with children HIGH

In Liverpool? Really?

 

Glasgow can't be that far behind

Bit of a posh area round here! Houses round the corner going for between 500,00 and 750,00 . They all belong to drug dealers though!

 

Sorry it's very high - just read yours! nt

 

middle aged, clerical jobs, daily mail readers

I'd move if I was you, your neighbours sound ****!

but then again, apparently I live with a load of Saga-louts. By the coast.

 

I'm in the posh bit too

I'm surprised Glasgow hasn't overtaken the whole of Britain in the pregnancy charts.

 

Well slow down then

and it might just avoid it.

 

It's those Italian birds

Just can't keep away from them.
