Our latest instalment of ‘sales-pitch-dressed-up-as-research’ is from property sales specialists RetirementMove who have been looking into what British grandparents think is great about modern life, citing October 1 as ‘National Grandparents Day’.
The research, they say, is a welcome antidote to the ‘back in my day’ approach favoured by the likes of UTC. We tested RetirementMove’s findings by comparing them with UTC’s favourite three things about modern life.
UTC first:
- Famous Grouse
- Golden Virginia
- William Hill
Compare this with the survey’s conclusions:
- Digital cameras
- The internet
The auld yin merely snorted brusquely before admitting that he did occasionally put the internet to good use when Mrs UTC was out at the bingo.
Commenting on the survey, RetirementMove’s Head of Marketing, Rosie Beasley, said something that we can’t be bothered quoting.
