The stats seem to back it up, so it's a good job we all moved here for the quality of life.....and to bother the locals with our incessant moaning.
Handily Finns seem to have a high score for abscence of negative feelings! Hank, what say you, let bygones be bygones and embrace your european brothers and sisters?

There's a good chap.

Have a play around with the data yourself at:

Finland's resilience and self-esteem is an interesting mix: self-esteem in the basement, but optimism and resilience quite strong. Gives the same end-result as for the UK, though by a different route.

Perhaps the results are due to the fact that in Finland, feelings to the effect of "Prkl I'll down a bottle of vodka and curl up in the snow to die" aren't regarded "negative", but just "normal"?

Incidentally, just have a peek at the Danish stats. Their graph looks like as if it was woven by a (smiling) red-and-white spider determined to get more Lebensraum.
