Blackbriar 8,568 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 The ONS has produced a 'heat map', showing levels of happiness, anxiety and overall life satisfaction for towns and regions of the UK. Apparently, if you live near Farnborough, you're deleriously happy, but if you live in East Northants (like me !), you're downright miserable ! So, how happy is your town ? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6209533/How-happy-town-Interactive-heat-map-shows-life-satisfaction-ratings.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,157 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 surely it's upto individuals to be happy or sad not your geographical location, there,s miserable b*****ds in every street in suburbia regardless of charts and graphs and these studies normally link happiness to wealth which as Mackem can probably confirm is total bollacks as some of the worlds poorest places have some of the nicest happiest people, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,926 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Seems mostly everyone round me is a miserable baystard..., or maybe that’s just the effect I have on them Think a lot of people measure happiness, not on quality of life, but the quantity of shit they have, or don’t have..., especially when comparing it to their peers. And I’m not immune from it. Thing is I’m at my happiest fishing a rise on a June evening, or walking a field on a blowy winters night.., and that costs very little, just time. What I think most lack is a sense of perspective. I thank my lucky stars every day for the health of my kids and loved ones..., because I know if anything ever happened to them I’d give away every penny I’ve ever earned to put them right. Take the time to enjoy family and friends and hopefully won’t have too many regrets when the reaper comes knocking. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
