A new survey has discovered that most Britons are miserable, never passing up an opportunity to complain. What about you? Do you feel life has dealt you an unfair hand? Or are you happy with your lot?

It's official: Britons are miserable

		The alarm sounds at 7am on Monday. Rain lashes your window and your partner is snoring. What is your first thought?
			Four days until Friday. But he/she might have left me by then. Oh God!
			Another 10 minutes of sleep won't do any harm
			If I'm in work by 8am I can make a start on that cracking new report. And it's nearly time for breakfast!
			If I give him/her a hug, he/she might get up first and make some coffee
		You're 15 and you've locked your bedroom door. What are you doing?
			Playing Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by the Smiths and hiding under the bedclothes
			Sneaking out of the window for a rendezvous with your beloved
			Dancing around the room to Abba's Super Trouper
			Writing your journal to the strains of the Pet Shop Boys' What Have I Done to Deserve This?
		You found £200 in used notes in the street and public-spiritedly handed it in to the local police station, hoping that no one would claim it. But you lose the slip and can't reclaim the haul. What's your reaction?
			Maybe the owner claimed it. I hope so - I didn't really need it
			How much worse can things get?
			I'm an idiot. But I wasn't counting on the money and those notes were probably stolen
			Damn! I could have sunk 20 bottles of vodka with that
		Your ideal partner would be:
			Up for it and cheerful
			Wealthy, but guilty with it
			You're living together already. And it's heaven
			Patient, understanding and forgiving
		Do you believe in fate?
			Yes. I've been so lucky
			Tosh. I worked hard to get where I am today
			No, it's rubbish. I brought this on myself
			Yes. Why else would life be this bad, after all my hard work?
		Do you vote?
			What's the point? Doesn't make any difference
			Only if I really support a particular party
			Of course, even in European elections. My grandmother was a suffragette
			I always go to the polling station - so I can spoil the ballot paper
		Do you believe the world will end?
			Yes, and good riddance to it
			If we take more care of the environment, we might hang on for a few more thousand years
			Yes - the wrath of the Lord is almost upon us - but I'll be saved
			Of course it will - when the sun swells to engulf the earth in a few billion years' time
		What would be your desert island book?
			The Bible
			Franz Kafka's The Trial
			A boxed set of JK Rowling's Harry Potter
			Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe
