The given table illustrates the percentage of households in the United Kingdom owning 
consumer durables from 1996 to 2006. A cursory glance at the table is enough to make it 
clear that except for telephone, all other consumer durables gained popularity, with more 
households possessing them in 2006 as compared to 1996.
In 1996, a little more than 90% households had telephone. This percentage dropped very 
slightly to 90% by 2006. Microwave, fridge and washing machine was owned by similar 
percentage of households (70%) in 1996. However, the percentage owning the microwave 
escalated by 10%, whereas those owning the fridge and washing machine grew by only 5% 
each. The percentage of households with a mobile phone rose from 20% in 1996 to 60% by 
2006. This was a three fold increase. Houses with internet connection showed the highest 
discrepancy, increasing from approximately 8% in 1996 to roughly 60% by 2006. 
Overall, the maximum households had the telephone and the lowest had the Internet 
connection in 2006.
