1. Whilst browsing through the Times, which one does when there is nothing else to do I noted that British people are afraid to go out after dark. Um I thought where does that one come from. Then I noticed that the OECD have produced a Better Life Index. I think there were 34 countries taking part.
2. Norwegians work 1407 hours per year the average being 1739 - lazy lot. However, they earn $29365 per year - the average being $22284. 79% of mothers are employed after having children.
3. The British work 1646 hours per year less than the average of 1739. They earn $27208 per year and 67% of mothers work after having children.
4. Turkey is right at the bottom of the pile, followed by Mexico. An interesting few minutes.

1 Well, well, the stories which are to be found in The Times. As I read your text, I wondered if you could add more data about the Norwegians. Whilst I know that you have encountered fewer than ten (or five) you may be able to say something about .... anything.
2 I have just returned. As I left the house, I was leaving for a funeral service; I have returned from a bit of a do. The OUBS contingent constituted half or more or the congregation. I have talked easily to people whom I have recognised and who recognised me. The conversations just ran.
3 A larger-than-lifeside penguin played an important part.
