A psychologist has worked out the happiest countries. Not sure I believe it but UK is waaay down. Canada is number 10. Denmark (!?) is top! From what Nick says about Denmark it seems a nice place but a bit lacking in the old shopping department which wouldn’t contribute to my happiness.

1. Denmark
2. Switzerland
3. Austria
4. Iceland
5. The Bahamas
6. Finland
7. Sweden

10. Canada

13. Costa Rica
