Housewives Rool The Net UK

How much leisure time do you spend on the internet? In the UK, its the housewives that are on the net the most, reports the BBC:

A survey of more than 27,000 web users in 16 countries has shown that the Chinese spend the largest fraction of their leisure time online. (see below)

However, UK housewives spend even more than China's average - 47%.

In the UK, a breakdown by occupation shows striking differences in the responses; students spend 39%, more than the unemployed (32%) but still far less than housewives.

There are some other nuggets:

However, when asked the question "Have you ever arranged to meet in person people who you've met through the internet?", Germans came out on top with a whopping 76% saying yes.

The Chinese were at the bottom of the 16-strong list, at 40% - still a reasonable fraction reporting they had crossed from online life into real life.

The average across all countries was 60% having met online friends face-to-face; the UK was just below that figure at 58%.

Unfortunately, the one missing piece of data is how much leisure time a Chinese vs say a British Housewife has in net hours.
