    It got my Mum's house spot on: B06 retired people enjoying pensions from successful careers still living in the house they raised families.

    Unfortunately the website can't cope with City addresses so my Barbican place is out.

    My last address in the UK is: A02 Influential thought leaders(!) in spacious city homes. A bit odd as it was a town not a city.

    Don't think my current house or one in the area I want to move to are particularly accurate

    Current house : I38 - settled ex-tenants. Older couples whose children have flown the nest working in low-skilled occupations and living in ex-council housing


    The only thing that's correct is the ex-council house.....not the ex-tenant, children left and low-skilled occupation

    H36 - foot on the ladder. Young singles and couples who have recently bought their first small house which consumes a large proportion of their income


    I would quite like to be described as "young single" - unfortunately, more like "middle-aged single"....and likely to consume a large-ish proportion of my single income if my current house ever sells!

    We are a B07.

    Rather worryingly it got my Irish ethnicity.

    I seem to have been short changed on the size of house though. Oh and the Range Rover and Porche.

    Me: B05
    Mid-Career Climbers are married couples No
    aged between 45 and 65. No
    Many of them have adult children still living with them at home while they go to university. No
    Many of them are highly educated, Yes, I suppose so
    and have worked their way into senior managerial positions in professional jobs and in business. No
    They work hard, No - I only do half a job
    and have felt their social networks dwindling in recent years as they focus more on their partners and children. Sort of

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Current home:

    Type A04: Serious MoneyFamilies with considerable wealth living in large, exclusive detached houses where money is seemingly no object

    I wish!

    Where we used to live:

    Type A02: Voices of AuthorityInfluential thought leaders in comfortable and spacious city homes

    Hmmm!

    Our first home:
    Type O62: Crash Pad ProfessionalsYoung, well paid, mostly single professionals, who have chosen flats suitable for commuting to urban jobs

    Fairly accurate there.

    F25 for me.

    I do recognise bits of my own household and many of my neighbours (although some bits are wildly wrong).

    I just hope that the descriptions " comfortable and unambitious", "very cautious borrowers" and "unspectacular incomes" may reduce the amount of junk mail dropping through my letterbox in future.

  • My computer still won't access it, so I had to go downstairs and try my laptop. It worked. It shows me as B09 "Escape to the Country".

    Epping Forest has got a lot to answer for. It shows a sickly 30-something family with two kids which is exactly what I came here to avoid! There are some in the cheaper houses over the back, but hardly any down our road. Then there's a picture of a cat. Mrs LM went spare! She hates cats and hoses them down if they dare to come into our garden.

    I suspect it's this sort of tripe that dictates what sort of Junk Mail I get.

    It got my area spot on, D19. "Stanley and Mollie", lots of retired "innate Conservatives" around, who are not hugely well-off, but like to give a bit back - that kind of thing. Very interesting.
