j4Does anybody know whether a majority of households in the UK include one adult who stays at home during some/all of the working day?
I'm just wondering how to account for the fact that commercial companies always seem to be extremely surprised when I tell them that I can't actually stay in all day, every day, on the offchance that they might turn up, as I have a full-time job.

Date: 2006-10-24 11:18 am (UTC)So we have 8m non-working, 12m over 60, plus people who work part-time/from home. I'd guess those don't represent a significant amount, but I'm not sure.
And logically, every delivery must go to a household with one of these people, so between 1/3 and 1/6 of households qualify.
