Britons are happier than the French or Germans, say Cambridge academics

People in Britain are happier than the French and Germans, according to a study by Cambridge University psychiatrists. 

One in five people in Britain could be described as "flourishing", compared to 14 per cent in France.

Academics found that no country in Europe had a population of which more than half was happy. The most miserable countries were Russia and Portugal, where fewer than one in ten citizens were reported as "flourishing".

Britain also came ahead of Germany by a fraction of one per cent.
