I could have been mean here and used the Daily Telegraph headline of "British Isles - worst place to live in Europe" but I simply don't believe that's true.
It's that time of year again when Uswitch announce the results of their quality of life index. You can see their full press release, including all the methodology and tables here. They say:
France, which has topped the index for the second year running, enjoys the earliest retirement age, spends the most on healthcare (11% of GDP) and has the longest life expectancy in Europe. Its workers also benefit from 36 days holiday a year – compared with just 28 in the UK – and it comes only behind Spain and Italy for hours of sunshine.
As it stands, people in the UK can expect to work four years longer and die two years younger than their French counterparts.
I do love that last bit....now, what shall I do with those twenty four extra months?
