Bit of fun. I got 80%

Post by Ziggy Sawdust »

Got 3 questions spot on! Mind you - one of them was how many Muslims are in your area and if you visited my area for a few hours, you'd get that one right too. Got the Christians bang on though as well, which is darned clever even if I say it myself.

I was surprised by the lack of home ownership (33%) in my ward and the number of Christians (58%). Only 5% are Muslims which I would have thought was slightly higher. 35% have degrees and 32% don't have a car or van (quite a few cyclists and good public transport though).

Not too well, only 40%. I was surprised also at the number of people who say they are Christian, as 68%. You can tell it's in the sticks though, 0% muslim.

I got a pitiful 31% for Staines. I think I should move. Or embrace Islam, I scored more highly on that question than I did Christianity and Education...

64%. Curiously the muslim question I went for 6 & the actual answer is 0. Which is strange because i know of @ least 1 Muslim family nearby. Sure they've been there more than 3 yrs as well.

I think y'all must count being Christian in some other way as, well, you know, going to church and praying from time to time etc etc.
What I mean here is, growing up in Uk I don't think I knew anyone that was Christian in the, well, in the Christian sense,,,, yet probably most would put "Church of England" if asked What religion? on a survey.

That's part of the problem with the church of England. They think they have millions of followers then wonder why every other church is turned into a Wetherspoons when two people show up every Sunday.

Faired equally badly on my London postcode. Did a little better on my original Pompey postcode.

I was surprised again on the religion front. I was pretty close in London 54%/24% (I guessed 50%/25%), but totally thrown on Pompey, where again I was way out; PO2 has only 2% muslim (I guessed 12%). Now I haven't lived in Pompey's fair isle for many a year, but that did surpsie me.

Interesting comparing Pompey/London on other things; London is West Ham by the way, so not particularly affluent. Mortgages Pompey/London: 50%/18% (loads more renting in London I guess), Degrees: 18%(or was it 12%?)/30% - not sure why the amount in West Ham is so much higher. Median age: 28/37.
