LONDON, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Young people in London ages 11 to 19 love to surf the Internet the most, but they also like to hang with their grandparents and listen to their iPods.

Sky News reported Saturday that the Heritage Lottery Fund found in a survey that this age group would rather spend time with their grandparents than watch television. The survey also found that some 65 percent felt that spending time with their family was more important at Christmas than presents, food or going to parties.

Heritage Lottery Fund director Carole Souter told Sky News, "Spending time together and experiencing a sense of shared history definitely help bring the generations closer."

Eight hundred youngsters were took the survey online earlier this year.
