According to the online company's first poll of members, its members are 70 per cent aged between 35 and 64 and 58 per cent earn over £25,000 per year. A quarter live in the south-east of England, 89 per cent own their home, and they are more than 50 per cent more likely to have two or more children than the rest of the UK populace.
