  1. #1

    Just type in the following and your postcode with a hyphen between first part and 2nd part (EG AB12-3CD or A12-3BC)

    I just found this by accident, and my postcode is not what they say the area is like

    Although it is demographic, and what it says about the area I live in, may be true for some people, hardly one word releates to myself.

    some points that I have picked out

    Unlikely to have a credit card ( True, because I choose not to have one)
    Unlikely to have a bank acount ( I have several at different banks)
    Don't have a mortgage (True my property is fully paid for with the title deeds in my safe)
    Do Diy out of necessity ( I love Diy, I also do repairs for neighbours and my local church)

    Sherlock's Bazaar
    ~ General Store

    Very interesting! If other postcodes are treated in the same way, and I suspect they are, then this is one of the biggest loads of waffle I've seen in a long time!

    It purports to be postcode specific and speaks of my code as being of flats and terraced houses. In fact the housing is largely detached with a small sprinkling of semis.

    Reading carefully, and checking the map given it appears, however, to be showing similar populations in the whole of the UK. If this be so, it is still incorrect as they claim that most people are in their 40's - when we all know that one of our problems is an aging population.

    Well, never mind; it seems to keep at least one writer of fiction fully employed!

    Thanks for the link....it has given me much amusement.
