Top 'simple pleasures'

Comments

British consumers were asked to name the simple things that make life more pleasurable.

22% of us chose laughter as our most important simple pleasure, whether that be sharing a good laugh with our best mates or catching a top comedian’s tour.

Immediately behind that, was sharing great food with great friends (21%). We love to sit, eat, drink and talk around a table and it’s even better enjoyed out in the fresh air.

In third place, according to those taking part in the poll, was receiving a hug (19%).

Other votes included things like having a lie-in, peeling an apple in a single strip, getting some peace and quiet and staring at the night sky.
