Fair enough if that's part of your spec. but I still reserve the right not to answer that question in the (forlorn) hope that at some stage we can stop perpetuating such bollox.
TBH I'd have thought that it would be far more useful to you to use 'socio economic' classifications ie A,B,C etc?
Godd luck with the project and it'd be cool if you posted a link to the presentation once completed.

Personally, I find it quite annoying when anyone types in 'chatspeak', so I type long hand all the time, except when making a point. So what if I go a little overboard with my commas? Who are you, the grammar police?

I can't stand it either! And who said you have to be old to be pedantic?!

Ahhh Yes, The Kentpurs, lovely people - the most faithful family of punkawallah's in the Greater Bombay metropolitan area - we loved them so, made a smashing cup.
They did feel terribly betrayed when Grandpapa bought in the Burco and the Gaggia though - last I heard they ran off to Scotland to become hairdressers.
Crying shame.

Why did I buy? I cashed in a useless endowment policy and spent it on something fun, instead.
Fave things: Handles great, it fits, you don't have to ride like your hair's on fire to have fun on it.
Social class? I'm a child of the Universe, just like everyone else.
I'm an Industrial (not industrious...) Chemist
Male.
Married? No, left on the shelf. Out of harm's way

Hi
AGE: 52 (usually feel younger)
WHY DID YOU BUY THE GS: I wanted a bike with shaft drive. I'd owned 2 previous BMWs and liked the brand. The GS got (mostly) rave reviews - confirmed by a test ride. It is much lighter than the R1200RT.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT THE GS: Comfort, reliability (so far), flexibility, quirky looks, plus I really like the way the instrument lights come on in the shade! And it makes me feel good everytime I ride it.
WHAT SOCIAL CLASS WOULD YOUR PLACE YOURSELF IN: middle - if pressed
WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION(IF APPLICABLE): civil servant (mostly) working in IT
ARE YOU MALE OR FEMALE: male
ARE YOU MARRIED: yes
and will we see the 'flash' presentation?
