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. Our kitchen is beige: my husband is a good cook, I am not. What does that tell us?

Although one conclusion did hit the mark - 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 any more grouchy than him.
