What Do Britons Call The Game Where You Knock On Someone’s Door & Run Away – Brilliant Maps

The
map
above
shows
the
results
of
a
new
YouGov
survey
of
more
than
12,000
Britons
on
what
they
call
the
game.
And
despite
having
lived
in
the
UK
for
15
years
I’ve
never
heard
of
the
top
2
results:

“knock
down
ginger”
at
25%,
and

“knock
a
door
run”
at
21%.

Here
are
the
results
broken
down
by
age,
region
and
class.

Note: UK
Social
Grades:
ABC1
and
C2DE

In
the
UK,

“ABC1”
and

“C2DE”
are
groupings
from
the

NRS
(National
Readership
Survey)
social
grades,
a
demographic
classification
system
often
used
in
market
research
and
media.

Here’s
a
quick
breakdown:

ABC1

• 
  A
  –
  Higher
  managerial,
  administrative,
  or
  professional
• 
  B
  –
  Intermediate
  managerial,
  administrative,
  or
  professional
• 
  C1
  –
  Supervisory,
  clerical,
  junior
  managerial,
  administrative,
  or
  professional

Together,

ABC1
is
often
considered
the
“middle‐class
and
above”
bracket.

C2DE

• 
  C2
  –
  Skilled
  manual
  workers
• 
  D
  –
  Semi‐skilled
  and
  unskilled
  manual
  workers
• 
  E
  –
  State
  pensioners,
  casual
  or
  lowest‐grade
  workers,
  unemployed
  (relying
  on
  state
  benefits)

C2DE
typically
refers
to
“working‐class
and
below”
households.

do
you
call
the
game
where
you
live?
