      Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be wealthy commuters living in villages. These are known as type 3 in the ACORN classification and 2.7% of the UK’s population live in this type.

      Neighbourhoods fitting this profile are found throughout the shire counties, especially in Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire as well as in Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex. Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood:

      Family income Very high
      Interest in current affairs High
      Housing - with mortgage Medium
      Educated - to degree High
      Couples with children Medium
      Have satellite TV Medium

      This type of postcode comprises wealthy people living in rural villages, predominantly in the shire counties of England. Given the rural nature of these areas, there is some agricultural employment but most residents are affluent, well educated professional people employed in senior managerial positions. There is also more working from home in this type.

      Residents tend to be older, aged 45+, with fewer children and more retired people. Housing is spacious, with four or more bedrooms, mostly detached and at the upper end of the property price ladder. Reflecting the older age profile, more properties are owned outright than being bought on a mortgage.

      Car ownership is high with more people commuting by car than by rail. Two or more cars per household is common, with high value cars being the norm.

      These are financially astute householders, with high levels of ownership of stocks and shares, unit trusts and guaranteed income bonds. The Internet is used to research and purchase financial products as well as cars, holidays and other products.

      Leisure interests include walking, bird watching, the fine arts, antiques, classical music and the opera. Membership of the National Trust is also popular.

      Favoured newspapers tend to be the Telegraph, The Times and Financial Times.
      I think I am bringing theplace down a bit - serooulsy bird watching - not the feathered sort my friend!

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
