Diary - Easy living creates idle Britons
August 13, 2009
Britons are so lazy that one in six cannot be bothered to change the television channel if the remote control is not working, according to a study published on Monday.
More than half said they would rather take the lift than climb two flights of stairs to their workplace, while three quarters had too little energy for sex at the end of a long day.
An entire generation risked being blighted by idleness, warned non-profit organisation Nuffield Health, which commissioned the poll. "Ready meals, remote controls and even internet shopping are all contributing to a dangerously lazy and idle Britain," said medical director Doctor Sarah Dauncey. - AFP
