Interesting, says lots of people on my road owe money.....

[Hardcoreruss]

Thats a load of rubbish.

It says that there are no children in my area but I live next to the number 1 primary school in Essex.

It says houses are way below the national average also, I wish !!!!!

[Craig Tucker]

Remember an individual postcode is a very defined area of not that many houses.

So how many kids do you have living right next to a primary school.

[Hardcoreruss]

Left of me there are four kids, opposite two, behind two, right there are 5.

There are millions of them.

[Craig Tucker]

You're obviously dragging the stats down, best get cracking.

God it must be mayhem there

[Hardcoreruss]

Seriously, people only live in our area for the school.

That is the main reason why the price houses are so high.

[Craig Tucker]

Has that always been the case, or is it a new school. The figures are supposedly from the national census done a few years ago.

Remember the story about if enough people put Jedi as religion it would have to be recognised as such. I thought about it but never did.

Something like this is never always going to be accurate, but should be a good indicator generally.

[Hardcoreruss]

Yeah the school has been there for about fifty years.

As you say on average it is probably correct but in the case of my road it is not.

I did it for a flat I own also and it was spot on.

It said Ethnic makeup for my area, you're all white racist nazis. weird.

I have a primary school and a secondary school about 20 metres from my front door. i can in fact see them from my bedroom window. trying to drive to work is hellish, i can't move for retarded kids (do they still teach the green cross code?) and armour plated 4x4s.

The best thing is, my office is opposite a ******* school! i have to go through it all -again- and they are inconsiderate mofos. often they park across the gateway into my work. the road is only wide enough for one vehicle, so i sit with my indicator on for the person to come move their car (by this point there is traffic both sides of me, sometimes they honk) and then the person has to reverse out of the gateway, then wait for the 15 cars behind that to backup so i can get into work. Also fun, if me and a colleague arive at the same time, we block them in (well not really, we leave about two inches each way, so they -can- get out, just takes them a long time. if they ask "can you move?!?!?!" we say "yeah, i go home at 5" and they get very annoyed. one time a mum went with the kids for swimming lessons, left her car parked on a corner, about a foot from the kerb. a bus tried to get past her and got stuck, ripped her mirror off and stayed there for about 90 minutes till she got back. i wish it had been a fire engine, then she would have been in some shit.

She still has those green L plates on her car, definitely over 12 months since she was on the road though...

there's a hell of a difference between my current house and my old house from 4 years back

It's correct in most of what it says though

Well, I *was* going to say fairly normal and typical, just fairly nice without being particularly upmarket, but.....

Professional home owners in detached and semi-detached suburbia
This postcode is typical of 2.38% of the UK population.

well i suppose that *sort* of applies. I dont see many amateur home owners around, that's for sure.

Properties are mainly detached or semi-detached and are owned outright or mortgaged. The typical property price is above average. The properties are larger than average in size and are located in suburbs or rural areas. People will typically have lived here for 11 or more years.

yep!

In this area the most common social group is ABC1. The children living in this area are typically aged between 5 and 19 years and the adults between 30 and 74 years.

what's ABC1? Well oddly enough that also seems to apply - my family moved here when I was 5
Though i'm not sure what it thinks happened to the under-5s, or the 20-29 year olds. Perhaps folk move out for ten years then come back, and choose that time to have kids.

The number of directors is 83% higher than the national average. As defined by the Census, the ethnic break-down of this postcode is typically white.

I wouldn't say the area is particularly known for it's movies...... though it is fairly white bread. Not exclusively by any means, though. We're inclusive and multicultural

Financial: The level of investors in this area is 21% higher than the national average and the financial risk associated with this postcode is classified as being roughly 33% of the national average.
Other Information: Most people read either a local paper, a paper such as the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, The Times, the Independent, the Telegraph or the Guardian and the level of internet usage is high. Response to mail order companies is high. There is a high level of car ownership and when travelling to work people tend to use public and private transport.

Financial: what? (apparently there's 1 account in every 24 that's "bad", and the average credit score is 4)
Other: how the hell do they know all THAT?

Initial indications show that Broadband has been available since 30 September 2000 at

now that's a load of baloney. december 2001, perhaps... and apparently there's 7 different providers... coulda fooled me, there were only 2 so far as im aware.

apparently a 78% chance that we can receive freeview (what, they can't say for certain?)

and all the other bars are green or yellowy green.


So an uncharacteristically NICE place, then.
Would never have guessed! The rest of britain must be a shit-hole then... funny, i've travelled about quite a bit and most places i've ended up have been on a par or better. what are the chances of that happening eh?

[waheed]

I dont think it provides accurate information.

[Will Hay]

Some acurate for my village, but most looked utter rubbish.
The "typical newspaper read" made me smile though, but I won't divulge it
