      The number of threads here which is regurgitated crap from the Daily Mail is quite worrying. Are we to deduce the majority of IT contractors are right wing leaning with a low IQ?

        It would appear so.

        And, as NLUK says, they fall for click bait like many of their low IQ brethren.

        They'll be posting a set of questions next about ... "Does he really love me - answer these questions to find the truth"

        And yes, Vetran, this is condescending ..... and the original post deserves it

            I love a pointless survey and the fact I don't have to click the link to get at it is even better
            • You order a Cappuccino - no, I drink espresso or americano (no milk)
            • Your underwear is from M&S - no
            • You watch Countryfile for the weather forecast at the end - no
            • You ask for 'milk and two sugars' in your tea - very rarely drink tea and it'll be some fancy tulipe rather than builders' if I do
            • You still have a DVD collection - no (never did)
            • You ask for a 'Rachel Cut' at the hairdressers - no (never did)
            • You say 'funky' - no
            • You still send cheques for people's birthdays - no
            • You call trainers 'sneakers' - no
            • You make noises when you sit down - no
            • You wear comfortable shoes - yes
            • You do not recognise any Love Island contestants - yes
            • You struggle to work your TV remote - no
            • You plan a second route on a car journey just in case - no
            • You become obsessed with bin day - not obsessed, I just know when it is and ensure my bin emptying is timed accordingly
            • You move from BBC Radio 1 to Radio 2 - yes, I did that in my 20's and then moved onto R4 in my early 40's
            • You still use a gas BBQ - no (never owned a BBQ)
            • You turn the music down when you park the car - no
            • You have never posted a video to social media - no
            • You do not know what a Youtuber is - no
            • You use hashtags incorrectly - no
            • You are still on Facebook - no
            • You worry about not being able to find a parking space - no
            • You ask for your steak well done - depends on the cut, some cuts should be more well done, others should be rare or medium rare. A person who doesn't tailor cooking to the cut of meat is a philistine
            • You add salt to your food before tasting it - no

              Ah they forgot reading slowly and being unreasonably judgemental.
