Some prefer to say they have "interests" now, rather than "hobbies", I've noticed, too. I suppose it sounds more posh?
Agreed, the ones who say they live for their work, and seem to have nothing beyond it, are usually really boring and unimaginative - and often know all the "rules", and none of the sense!

I’ve been reading this thread with interest.

I’m keen on mentioning my research in my supporting evidence when applying for a data entry/purchase ledger role.

The role requires attention to detail, receipting and accurate input, organisational skills, reconciliation skills, IT skills, and highlighting discrepancies etc..

I won’t go too OTT though, just a couple of sentences.
Westmorland - Currah, Richardson, Jackson, Graham, Williamson, Nixon
Scotland - Spence, Crawford, Stewart, Kerr, Munro and many more
Staffs - Wood, Round, Pittaway, Beddall, Brookes, Weston, Talbot, Shakespeare,

Staffs & Worcs - Millership, Roberts, Westbury, Lloyd, Bridgewater, Oliver
