Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

There seems to be a survey like that every few years, with the U.K always coming out  worst. I studied one such survey in detail a few years ago, and I noticed that the ranking of Italy would depend on how you weight the various factors: they were at the bottom for education, immediately below Scandinavia for heath, and at the top for relations with family and friends. The U.K., on the other hand, were at the bottom in nearly every category.

I always say that Britian falls between the stalls of the good bits of the US or Europe, we are the worst of both worlds. Still, it gives us a certain sense of humour.
