A completely unscientific promotional survey has revealed that moustaches, pop-up bone marrow restaurants and copious amounts of drugs do not, in the end, make people happy.

The Dorset Echo, which reports from a happy place, explains:

The questionnaire, put together by property firm Rightmove, looked at things like size, value and decor of homes, safety, friendliness of neighbours and the quality of local amenities.

The survey, like this one we covered last year, proves once and for all that people should just get out of this godforsaken hellhole before it’s too late.
