What is it?

Every postcode and output area in the UK has a P² type associated with it which reveals what characteristics people who live there are likely to have.

Have a go here, its interesting to put in the school postcode, how far does this agree with your experiences of the local area and our place?

According to the database I’m student in the community:)

New Starters are very interested in politics, and read broadsheet newspapers to keep up with world affairs. They are also very likely to smoke. Grocery shopping is done as cheaply as possible, by visiting chains such as Aldi and Lidl.

I’m always interested in the reading material of others, Alan does this often on GeographyJazz, so I thought I would start to blog my reading material and encourage a bit of literacy.

Finished last week the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, much here for Geographers to consider, the development of disaster capitalism and its impact on nations. Very depressing, as well as very enlightening.
