IF YOUR kitchen is painted grey you are likely to be a great cook but if it’s blue you may need to order a takeaway. This odd fact emerged after a survey by smartphone firm OPPO, which asked 4,000 people across the UK about their colour choices.

It also found that if you mainly wear white you’re likely to be a top earner, and owners of black cars see themselves as high achievers.

What a load of bilge. We have a beige kitchen: my husband is a good cook, I'm not. What does that tell us?

Although the survey did conclude that grouchy people can often be found wearing checked shirts. Too right they can - my husband often sports a checked shirt and they don’t come much more grouchy than him.
