Interesting Facts

According to a study commissioned by Teletext Holidays, Brits on holiday spend just six days actually having fun. (The first two days of the holiday are spent trying to relax and unwind, and the last two days people are stressed out about returning to work. As a result 19 per cent of us book our next break shortly after returning from our last holiday. Well, it's nice to have something to look forward to.)

In a survey conducted by Mothercare, British children between the ages of 2 and 12 were asked what was most important in a job, and 34% said that ‘having fun’ and ‘helping others’ was more important than being rich or famous. (Unfortunately that means 66% didn't think that having fun and helping others was more important than being rich or famous.)
