For all that we survey.....
Demographic definition.
Is fixed.
Profiles remain unconfined.
Cohabiting with baby boomers and a few of the pre 2nd world war depressed,
Straddling generation y and x.
Checklist:
Age
Gender
Income level
Race
Ethnicity
In brief:
31
Female
Not much
White-British
Etc.....
In truth:
Ethnic origin: White-British.
Plainly not Indian or Chinese.
Definitely not white, anglo saxon, protestent:
Not American.
Though my hand across the sea is holding.
Ethnically original.
White - with twists.
Through the family chronicles it has been intimated that there is quite a bit of –ish.
Though the extent of –ish has not been accurately calibrated so stands an iffy ish:
English-ish, French-ish, African-ish, Jew-ish, Span-ish and quite a lot of cockney sparra'.
A Parisian cigarette seller,
A Cape Town republican,
A Spanish gypsy,
A King’s Cross dairy farmer,
A PR specialist for Phillips.
A poetess,
A writer,
A painter.......
Religion:
No fixed religion though Catholicism, Protestantism, fervent Communist inspired atheism, Jewish have all passed through.
Age:.....
Surveys show the brackets are a changing. Hopefully they will continue to.
Children:.....
Maybe one day....but not in tow.
Sex:
Female
With decidedly masculine ticks.
Sexual Orientation:.........?
None of your business,
But if it really has a bearing on your wonderful survey,
And significantly contributes to your understanding of my consumer choices,
In the same way knowing an author’s sexual orientation adds to his story and not the one he writes,
(Please feel free to argue the above statement):
I am up for it and I am not particularly bothered by who’s playing.
Thank you for the time you took to complete our survey.
