Britain suffers sense of humour failure
Britain is suffering a sense of humour failure, with laughter levels three times lower now than 50 years ago and nearly half of all adults unable to enjoy at least one big guffaw a day, research showed.
…
“The findings of this study show a worrying trend towards glumness. In the 1950s we laughed for an average of 18 minutes daily but this has dropped to just six minutes per day,” she said.
Morning misery is rife, with almost half of Britons — some 45 percent — admitting they frequently wallowed in gloom until lunchtime.
If you had to look forward to a lunch of British food, you’d have trouble laughing too.
