LANCASTRIANS are typically proud and friendly folk with strong sense of identity and a love of hearty fare.
But do you fit the Lancashire mould?
YouGov, the firm best known for compiling opinion polls ahead of elections, have released a sample of the data they have which profiles people with certain interests.
Among those profiled are people with an interest in Lancashire - and the results may well surprise you.
According to YouGov, the average Lancastrian is a 60+ female with slightly left-wing political views and a love of mushy peas.
They are also most likely to work in media, healthcare or home and garden.
With more than £1,000 month to spend after they've paid off all their bills, the average Lancastrian is supposedly quite well off.
Their hobbies include Sudoku, trekking and gardening as well as a general interest in personal finance, animals, nature and religion.
You will also find that the most common Lancashire pet is a dog...
Living in Lancashire also means you don't mind paying for organic food and you find the idea of being in debt stressful.
The average Lancastrian shops at Booths, banks with Natwest, drives a Skoda, and is a customer of Virgin Trains, Microsoft and BT Sport.

For social media fans, the average Lancastrian follows Gary Neville, Tim Vine, Gary Lineker and David Lloyd on Twitter.
www.lancashire.gov.uk and www.ticketline.co.uk are the most visited websites. (They must have missed Lancashire Telegraph off there for some reason...)
And finally, the average Lancashire resident is online for between 21 and 25 hours per week and watches TV for the same amount of time.
You have also watched Fargo, Countryfile and University Challenge recently...
The full, public report on Lancastrians can be seen on the YouGov website.
