Following on from the "Where do you live?" and "Just how gorgeous are you?" ( ;) ) threads, I was thinking (briefly) what the average PHer was like.

Off the top of my head, I [i]think[/i] he's:

A straight white bloke, aged 32.

5'11" tall, and could do to lose half a stone. Wears glasses, but clean shaven.

Got a long term partner, and one young child.

Got two cats and a dog.

Living south of Birmingham, but north and/or west of London.

Driving a German car.

Employed in a legal financial IT field...

Going on holiday abroad at least once a year, usually in Italy or South East Asia. Often skis/boards in the Alps in winter.

Owns, or has access to, a PC and internet connection (obviously I'm 100% right with this one...)

Got three points on his driving license - for 32 in a 30, from a camera van.

Not at all - just idle speculation on my part.

I don't read any of the car-specific threads, and could be wrong on every other count (except the pC/internet one, obviously!).

Just a bit of fun, not a definitive anthropological study!
