Top 'simple pleasures'
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%).
| 1. Laughing - 22% |
| 2. Sharing great food with great friends - 21% |
| 3. Receiving a hug - 19% |
| 4. Feeling the warmth of the sun on your face - 10% |
| 5. Taking time out with a good book - 8% |
| 6. Walking on the beach - 7% |
| 7. Laying in freshly laundered sheets - 5% |
| 8. Watching a spectacular sunset - 3% |
| 9. Reminiscing over old photographs - 3% |
| 10. Catching the smell of freshly cut grass - 1% |
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.
