Newsnight last night a focus group bod “more in common” said that the word most used when asked to describe the U.K. it was

BROKEN

What is yours?

Mine would be broken.

Shambolic.

Bewildered

I understood that lots of people who voted to stay part of the union (in the referendum) did so because of the promise that this was the way to stay in Europe. I did think that was a betrayal Grandmabatty.

Am I allowed two?

I would say, whilst most people I know are cheerful, they are also very

Annoyed by our politicians

Potholed?

Cold and rainy

Unhappy.

Uninspiring

I’ll second that one GG!

I’m on my way home to lovely 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 from a week in Morocco and as much as I love visiting other countries and experiencing different cultures and climates, trust me that we have so much to be thankful for in Britain.

The UK may still be a good place to live, grandMattie.. but it's not the happiest!
Not according to the 2024 William Russell happiness report. This considers lots of evidence such as perceptions of the environment, friendliness, safety, and inclusion.

Here's the list of the top 20 in order:

Finland
Denmark
Iceland
Sweden
Israel
Netherlands
Norway
Luxembourg
Switzerland
Australia
New Zealand
Costa Rica
Kuwait
Austria
Canada
Belgium
Ireland
Czechia
Lithuania
United Kingdom

I believe this load of twaddle report is produced by
"a partnership of Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and the WHR’s Editorial Board. The report is produced under the editorial control of the WHR Editorial Board"

William Russell (an insurance company) purely quoted it.

I think the list of happy countries is somewhat outdated. Israel would definitely not be number 5 just now!

We have, Pantglas

Today I would say Chilly!

Australia may come way above the UK on the list but many Australians I know like a good whinge about their country and how it is run!!

Absolutely 👍

We have one of our Aussie contingent here at the moment, not a happy Koala when it comes to Government, Health Service etc.
