ReplyDeleteyes.i also think according to e-Society, your neighbourhood is categorised as E-unengaged and is populated by Technology as fantasy types!igg
ReplyDeleteStrange. The catagory says: "The ‘E – unengaged’ are typically groups that do not have access to electronic communications or technologies. Most are too old, too poor or too poorly educated to be able to access them, and instead traditionally rely upon personal contacts they trust for advice."

It is also: "... considered to be an almost exact microcosm of the whole United Kingdom in its demographic makeup, to the extent that it has often been used for market research purposes and trials of new products and services."
