Danes are the happiest people in Europe

Completely LOS unrelated, but a interesting read for all Danish (and maybe other) BM's:

BBC NEWS | Magazine | What can the Danes teach us about happiness?

It's obvious why they're happy. The Englsihman they quoted figured it out.

"If I lived in a country populated by 6ft blonde bombshells, I'd be pretty happy too."

But there is one other thing he missed: it is easy to get a visa to bring your TG over to stay with you!!

I spent some time in Denmark, and its by far the nicest Scandi-country IMO.

Freedom, i think is one of the reasons. You are not told how to drive, how to do this and that. Not told when or where to drink. The possibility for a normal working man to go to a restaurant or a bar without spending half a months salary..

They also have a very good infrastructure, roads and railways are in perfect condition. And its nice and clean everywhere. + Good quality food, Carlsberg, Tuborg etc.

Carlsberg in Norway is also very bad

I have no idea why they allow them to brew it up there under the same name. It has nothing to do with the original Danish version.

I don't agree with the title. I have had a few business meetings with Danish people in the last month (also this morning), and they are mostly not happy when I tell them something.


Oh, and vice versa, sometimes I am not happy when they tell me something.

With all the Carlsberg the Danes consume in the evening you shouldn't be telling them too much in the morning!

All the 'Danish bacon' in England is more likely to come from my home town than anywhere near Denmark! And knowing people that work there, it wouldn't make me any happier.

Well up until they decided to close it come June!

Lies, damn lies, and surveys!

The results of the survey may just as well prove that Denmark has more compulsive liars than other countries(or not), as much as it proves anything else. Who can say?
