English city where the average reading age is 7.

Where would that be? With a reference please

Somewhere near the 7 bridge?

Under it, more like. I've never heard of an adult population having
their reading ages tested/recorded.

Some one "clever" probably did a survey of 50 adults on a council sink
estate and extrapolated the results to cover the whole city.

Having said that a google produces many hits which state the UK average
reading age is around 8 or 9.

What? Not for my family.

Perhaps you are having difficulty with reading and understanding
mathematical concepts. UK average implies a national average. Some will be
higher some lower. By being higher you cannot drag the lowest or the
average up to your level.
improve the quality of adult literacy and numeracy teaching.

Maybe we were just lucky to be intelligent or maybe our parents made us go
to school and NOT let us duck out.
