The MoneySavingExpert.com Annual Census

So who are MoneySavers? Rather than data-mining, we decided the politest way to find out was just to ask. Plus we thought you may like to find out a little bit more about who else uses this site (or more accurately, who uses this site and answers the polls).

Welcome to the first annual MSE census.

    When it came to Employment status, I had to put part-time as it was the closest thing to 'Casual labour on zero hour contract' that I could see.

    I suspect they have been extinct for some years, but my favourite flavour of crisps was Bovril... :tongue:

    I answered everything except sexuality which I said prefer not to say.

    I'm quite happy to say heterosexual on here, straight is the wrong word, my best friend is a gay man, I wouldn't call him bent (or anyone else because of their sexuality) and straight is the opposite of bent!
    If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.

    In response to Gordon - we've changed the language. We agree straight and homosexual isn't right. We debated and decided to go colloquial and now have straight and gay/lesbian and bisexual. We took this from Stonewall's website language.

    All the gay people I know use the term straight to be fair, I just think it's dumb personally, if Stonewall say it's fine who am I to argue lol.

    Can't help but think, as there are 17 available answers to the crisps question, there should be more than the 2 current mutually exclusive options for gender.

    Not something that will affect me personally, but some people identify with gender in a different way.

    I may be missing the point here but I think it's worth considering.

    Shocked to see that respondents are 97% white.

    I used to like Bovril crisps as well, they do taste like Marmite crisps.

    Interesting to see high proportion of women

    Would have preferred to have seen 'homemaker' and 'carer' as separate options
