It’s all a myth, apparently.
You can come out from behind the sofa now. There is no longer any need to hide from drunks, murderers, or even the prospect of a stiff lecture about your carbon footprint. Because I bring unexpected good news: things are not quite as terrible in Britain as we have feared…
No figures have yet been compiled to assess which country has the most gloomy, pessimistic people, but the British would surely be up there in, say, the top one. We believe ourselves to be drunk, sexually feckless and careless of our carbon footprint.
Yet according to The Economist, none of this is true. Or rather, it might well be true but other countries are much drunker and more sexually feckless. (The Times)

Well, that’s nice to know. At least we’re not as bad as everyone else. Or as bad as we think we are!
