Q14 brought a smile to my face.. "Have you ever stood in your front garden and drank a can of beer?"

When England beat Germany 5-1 back in 2001 my front garden and house became a place of impromptu alcohol fuelled celebrations and madness I'll never forget that day

Got 60% overall - and i'm an Essex-boy at heart K

14% as I do occasionally swig out of a bottle ( if the host doesn't give me a glass), we do put up tinsel as Christmas for the sake of the youngster and I do wear trainers with no excuse except that they are comfortable.

I don't really care whether or not I am "common" anyway.
It would be a very boring world if we were all identical though. Eccentricity adds to the rich tapestry of life.
Blimey! Did I really write that ? Must be getting philosphical as I mellow (am over 50).

I got 27%. There was a lot of "age bias" in that survey. Anyone 40+ will almost certainly have at least used an outside loo, even though they may not have actually owned one. Lots of very famous/successful people lived in a council house when they were young, including me

Must have been the leaving the house without washing that did it. Though I could never see the point in having a wash before the morning run.

But I'm not common-there's only one of me (and be thankful for it).

Come from Africa so swigging out of the bottle, drinking beer in my front yard and using outside loos was really part of life there...lol
