Official! Britain and Ireland are the worst places in Europe to live. Another report obviously founded on groundless europhile, anglophobic opinions. It’s not that bad – the rain is quite warm today.

The latest uSwitch European Quality of Life index shows that the U.K. has the highest net household income across the continent but our quality of life is the poorest.

Long working hours, lower holiday entitlement and a high cost of living all contribute to our somewhat dower, miserable existence. We didn’t need a report to tell us that did we?

Report Highlights:

The average household income in Britain is £35,730 a year, £10,000 more than the european average.

Yes, that is what some children think.

I was watching Countryfile on BBC1 tonight. It was focusing on the farms that encourage children and families to visit. To interact with the animals. Get to know what a pig looks like, what a goat smells like and that a cow isn’t just a name their Dad calls their Mum.

But lately there have been several e.coli outbreaks and some children have fallen ill. E.coli is not nice for anyone..nasty! The farms do have hand washing facilities at various posts throughout the farm but young children do tend to put their hands in their mouths.
