Hey Sami - just noticed you're not a million miles from me.

Just put my postcode in that thing and got this

'Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be weathly working families with mortgages. These are known as Type 2 in the ACORN classification and 1.3% of the UK's population live in this type.'

Wouldn't have said it was a 2 if 1 is superposh more like a 4/5 but nice to know we bought a house in a good area even if it we did buy just before market started to drop :rotfl: . Have to laugh or I'll cry - won't be moving any time soon though which is good. :T

Yup, I remember pregnancy being a breeze until week 37 when it all started to be sooooooo hard! Walking, breathing, anything. I went to 42 weeks, but I never got angry really - too busy fighting off the flu (without drugs - is that not against human rights??) at the very end. I miss being a balloon...

Check us out... we're in a type 10 neighbourhood :rotfl:

Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be well-off working families with mortgages. These are known as type 10 in the ACORN classification and 2.26% of the UK’s population live in this type.
Given the commuter nature of this type, it is often found in satellite towns around major conurbations, such as Northampton, Milton Keynes, Reading, Swindon and Crewe.

They are right about the commuter and the fact we're close ish to MK and Northampton Actually Ironically I think they only take into account the nearest "town" so Bicester for us... and not the fact we live in a village just outside Personally I think we're at least a 5 :rotfl:
