Well, Britain looks all right to me.  Thank you for the link Wooly, have you seen those absolutely stunning photos of Britain from the air on the same page?

Now I'm going to look at the portraits of the Queen.  [geek]

Well I was highly amused y when I saw this 'report' yesterday.

One of the things mentioned was that the UK had less sunshine than France. Living through another canicule would do for me, so I am so glad that there is less sunshine in the UK than on the other side of the channel. And anyone who thinks that 'less' sunshine diminishes the quality of my life is off their tiny rocker!

What a silly silly survey, like so many of them, in fact just about all of them.

[quote user="Will"]I wish they'd make their minds up about where the worst place to live really is.

Sweden scores zero on quality of life index

[/quote]A lighthearted post I know but if you care to read the article that highly misleading title actually refers to a zero mark given for the cost of living component of a quality of life index which represented a mere 15% of the total.

Is the current Telegraph article the next in a series I wonder ?

Since we're on about it, and from Wills link, I wonder if the Icelanders feel the same as they did in 2007 !

And when 73% (or was it 79%?) French people are apparently claiming they want to "changer de vie" as they are unhappy with their lot...

(I heard it on TV yesterday, so it must be true...)

Yes and I remember hearing on that French game show, Union Libre, that the Frenchies consume more anti-depressants than any other EU nation. But then again perhaps the Brits are too busy mainlining crack and snorting cocaine to bother with anti-depressants.

The (rural) French do hard drugs too.  The house we bought had been used by local druggies - and one was found dead in the downstairs bedroom from a heroin overdose.  (We are in rural Périgord Noir.)
