Britain is lazier than ever, especially in the bedroom

According to a report published today, Britain is lazier than ever. Brits can't be bothered to run to catch a bus, climbs up the stairs and prefer to snooze rather than have sex.

Nuffield Health, who conducted the study, concluded that Britons are, indeed, lazier than ever despite the ongoing government push dedicated to encourage people to live healthier. Two thousand adults were surveyed in this study with results showing that 36% (a third) wouldn't run to catch a bus, 59% (more than half) would take a lift to their second floor office rather than walk up two flights of stairs. Other results included 52% (more than half surveyed) of dog owners admitting they didn't walk their dogs and 64% (two thirds) of parents said they were too tired to play with their children. One in six people would rather watch a TV programme they didn't like than get up to change the channel if the remote control was broken. In the bedroom 52% (more than half) blamed a lack of fitness for lack of sex while 73% (almost three quarters) said they didn't have enough energy for sex at the end of the day. 75% of people in Glasgow admitted they didn't get enough exercise making it the laziest city in Britain. It's followed in joint second place by Birmingham and Southampton on 67%, third place belongs to Bristol with 64%. London came in fourth with some of the rest of the top ten made up by Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester and Cardiff. It looks like Britain doesn't pay much attention to the government Change4Life campaign, that one that encouraged people to "eat well, move more, live longer". However, there may be another angle for the government to promote their campaign from as 28% (almost a third) of those surveyed said they'd exercise more if they felt it would make them more attractive. Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said a whole generation was in danger of becoming too unfit to perform the simplest of tasks. She also said, "Ready meals, remote controls and even Internet shopping are all contributing to a dangerously lazy and idle Britain. The nation has fallen into a vicious circle of laziness that we must stop."
