Spikes British thought for the day:
A recent study conducted by Oxford University found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study by the British Medical Association found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year!!
This means, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be British doesn’t it!
