As we all know, the Danes are the happiest people on the planet. They have hygge and Carlsberg, probably, and Crown Princess Mary neè Donaldson, mate.
And as further evidence of such contentment, it turns out they’re almost the world’s happiest with their jobs. But (shock horror!) the Mexicans are even happier and the Indians are not far behind. The Brits, of course trail the field at no. 22, keeping sad company with Sweden and Chile.
I’m afraid it’s all about being polite to researchers – but I may be wrong.

Or as the chorus in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannos would have it: ‘Call no man happy until he is dead’. 😦
There is also the beggar on the street corner asking the businessman if he has any spare change. “I don’t know”, said the man in the suit, “I haven’t lived all my life yet”.
