• A family of four will lose up to sixty socks every year.
• Ski socks, football socks and walking socks are equally as likely to vanish.
• 82 per cent of young men say they'll end up wearing odd socks at least once a week.
• Missing socks are most likely to affect the male members of the household.
• Northern men, in  Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds are top of the list as the most likely victims of sock disappearances.
• Black socks are the most likely socks to go missing.
• Only 21 per cent of women regularly lose socks in the wash.
• Wearing two pairs of socks means you are twice as likely to loose at least one of them in the laundry process, than if you wear one pair.
