UK adults are more likely to know how to set up a social media account than unblock a sink, bleed a radiator or put up a shelf, an Aviva survey reveals today.

We found:

  • Half of UK adults aged under 25 don’t know how to use a washing machine
  • But younger people are teaching older generations to become tech-savvy
  • Three fifths of UK adults are confident setting up a social media account
  • But only two fifths know how to put up a shelf
