Halifax home insurance research claims "DIY gene"

Psychologist Dr Glenn Wilson, who designed the experiment, explained the gene is related to a person's sensory perception and ability to work with different shapes.

He said: "Understanding how shapes fit together and is therefore fundamental to DIY skills. Some people simply do not have the mental equipment necessary to manipulate shapes and will always struggle to complete DIY tasks."

However, Martyn Foulds, senior claims manager at Halifax Home Insurance, commented that this should not deter homeowners from attempting to repair their house.

Churchill has found that one in four householders are planning DIY over the bank holiday weekend and revealed that the Northern Irish were the keenest for the task, while people in the east Midlands were least enthusiastic.
