The happiest person in Britain
The happiest person in Britain today is a professional mar-
ried man between the ages of 35 and 54. He lives in the south of
England but not in London. He owns a comfortable, detached
house and has two children.
What does he do?
He has a steady job in an
office in London. After a hard
day at work, he relaxes in front
of the television or watches a
video. He doesn't go out every
evening, but two evenings a
week he meets friends for a
drink in the local pub. He owns
a pet, usually a dog, and takes it
for a-walk every day after work.
He spends on average £120 per
week.
Where does he go?
At the weekend, he regu-
larly eats in restaurants, goes to
see shows, and plays a sport
(usually golf). Most weekends
he puts on a pair of old blue
jeans, and potters in the garden.
He usually goes on holiday
abroad more than once a year.

What does his wife do?
His wife is happy, too, but not quite as happy. She runs the home
and has a job, but she doesn't earn as much as her husband.
